Jonathan Coulton
All This Time
[Verse 1]
Ten thousand seven hundred days
We've been accident free
Practice my confident face
My pod's depending on me
Working hours fill the day
Spending credits when we stay at home
[Verse 2]
So long since anyone has seen
Out past the edge of our zone
One of the friendlier machines
Says I should leave it alone
But I wonder anyways
'Bout some things I shouldn't say
[Chorus]
What if Kurzweil doesn't make it?
What if all the switches get stuck on destroy?
When the shuttle goes we won't take it
And the final counter-measures are deployed
All we'll have is all this time
All we'll have is all this time
All this time
[Bridge]
Reds for focus
Blues to not get upset
Wasters and complainers get what they get
All eyes watching no one's noticed me yet
[Verse 3]
I'll tell the secret if I speak
It's what I'm smiling about
I keep it tucked into my cheek
'Til it's safe to spit out
Things are stranger than they seem
Now I remember what I dream
[Chorus]
What if Kurzweil doesn't make it?
What if all the switches get stuck on destroy?
When the shuttle goes we won't take it
And the final counter-measures are deployed
All we'll have is all this time
All we'll have is all this time
All we'll have is all this time
All we'll have is all this time
All this time
