Intro: GmFEbDVerse 1:
GmFEbD
Took a trip on a bus that didn't know
GmFEbD
Met a girl sellin' drinks at the disco
GmFEbD
Said truth comes back when you let it go
GmFEbD
Seems complicated ‘cause it's really so simple
GmFEbD
Walkin' down Yonge Street on a Friday
GmFEbD
Can't follow them, gotta do it my way
GmFEbD
No fast lane, still on the highway
GmFEbD
Movin' in and out, no doubt there's a brighter way
Chorus:
GmFEbD
No time to get down cause I'm moving up
GmFEbD
No time to get down cause I'm moving up
GmFEbD
No time to get down cause I'm moving up
GmFEbD
Aaaahhhhh, check out the crabs in the bucket
Verse 2:
GmFEbD
It's like flies on the windscreen, writing on walls
GmFEbD
Square biz clones claim they're havin’ a ball
GmFEbD
Foolin' themselves just before last call
GmFEbD
Tic-A-tic-A-toc, tic-A-tic-A-toc
GmFEbD
Clock strikes twelve, clock strikes one
GmFEbD
Smoking gun put these fools on the run
GmFEbD
I know it's not that simple
GmFEbD
I know it's not that hard where to go
(repeat Chorus)
Verse 3:
GmFEbD
It's a conniption, fit from the microphone flit
GmFEbD
I take it higher like a bird on a wire, retire the fire
GmFEbD
I never cause I'm just moving on up
GmFEbD
Choosin' to touch the unseen, craving the clutch
GmFEbD
The most inevitable legible pyromania
GmFEbD
Slayin’ the devil, and sendin’ him back to Transylvania
GmFEbD
Strangely enough, I evolved that side of the ghetto
GmFEbD
But my heavy metal will settle the puppets like Gepetto
GmFEbD
Damn if mirrors were created by sand
GmFEbD
Then I'm looking in the water for reflections of man
GmFEbD
Understand the minds above time when it's empty
GmFEbD
Emcee, Tragically Hip “Ahead by a Century”
