Roll On Time

[shuffle tempo, rolling piano, laid-back swing,

Guitar riffs]

Woo!

Yeah… oh yeah

(Yeah… oh yeah)

Back when the radio spoke your name

Said big dreams were fair game

(fair game)

Store on the block knew your face

You could live at a slow pace

Now it’s all on a small blue screen

Fast and loud, hard and mean (hard and mean)

Oh yeah…

Oh, time rolls on like a pair of dice

(Ohhh yeahhh)

Don’t ask once, don’t ask twice

It don’t care if you win or lose

It just rolls with the news

Yeah it rolls… rolls on (rolls on)

rolls on baby (rolls on)

Come on baby… rolls on

Yeah it rolls… rolls on (rolls on)

rolls on baby (rolls on)

Come on baby… rolls on

We would fight then let it slide

Drink it off, stand with pride (ohhh pride)

Now it’s words you type and send

No more foes, no more friends (no more)

Used to talk till the sun came up

Now no one says that stuff

that’s right (that’s right)

Oh yeah, that’s right (that’s right)

Yeah it rolls… rolls on (rolls on)

rolls on baby (rolls on)

Come on baby… rolls on

Oh, time rolls on like a pair of dice

Cold as steel, sharp as ice

It don’t wait, it don’t stall

It just runs through us all

Yeah it rolls… rolls on (rolls on)

rolls on baby (rolls on)

Come on baby… rolls on

Yeah it rolls… rolls on (rolls on)

rolls on baby (rolls on)

Come on baby… rolls on

Pay phone dead in the rain

No one knows a real name

Cash in hand felt so right (so right)

Now it’s gone in one quick swipe

We got more but we feel less

More speed, more stress

Oh baby…

Yeah it rolls… rolls on (rolls on)

rolls on baby (rolls on)

Come on baby… rolls on

Old band played too loud (too loud)

Sweat and smoke in the crowd

Now it’s sound in a small white bud

Clean and neat, no dirt, no mud

We used to feel that bass in our chest

Now it’s just like the rest

Oh yeah…

Yeah it rolls… rolls on (rolls on)

rolls on baby (rolls on)

Come on baby… rolls on

Yeah it rolls… rolls on (rolls on)

rolls on baby (rolls on)

Come on baby… rolls on

Big cars, small rooms

Short days, fast news

All shout, no ear (all shout)

So much talk, no one here

Clock on the wall don’t lie ( don’t lie)

Ticks till the day we die

Come on…

Yeah it rolls… rolls on (rolls on)

rolls on baby (rolls on)

Come on baby… rolls on

Oh, time rolls on like a pair of dice

Won’t cut you slack, won’t play nice

It don’t stop when you fall behind

Leaves old days in your mind

Yeah it rolls… rolls on (rolls on)

rolls on baby (rolls on)

Come on baby… rolls on

Yeah it rolls… rolls on (rolls on)

rolls on baby (rolls on)

Come on baby… rolls on

Yeah it rolls… rolls on (rolls on)

rolls on baby (rolls on)

Come on baby… rolls on

Roll on time…

Come on baby

Yeah… roll on

Alright now… roll.
