[Verse 1]
Swing to the right
Try to face the fact that I ain't that young no more
Hair's short again and a suit is in
Better brush up on how to tie a Windsor knot
Swing to the right
Credit's hard to find and a dollar doesn't go so far
What's more important when the count comes in
A sell-out who's alive or a corpse that can't be bought?
[Chorus]
Stop the hands of time
Think I see a sign
Tables turning 'round
Hear a different sound
Stop the hands of time
Looking out for mine
[Verse 2]
Swing to the right
Don't want to hear what the povertous expect from me
Let 'em eat cake if they feel that way
I gotta work, why should I have to pay for that?
Swing to the right
And I don't want to be left holding the bag for them
'Scuse me for living but I have to say
I've got some worries of my own, like staying fat
[Chorus]
Stop the hands of time
Think I see a sign
Tables turning 'round
Hear a different sound
Stop the hands of time
Looking out for mine
[Guitar and Synthesizer solos]
[Outro]
Stop the hands of time
Think I see a sign
Tables turning 'round
Hear a different sound
Stop the hands of time
Save my place in line
Tables turning 'round
Looking at all mine
