Been trying for all my life   But I can't add up your subtraction   Work, eat, play then go to sleep   That won't get me no satisfaction   Gotta find a way out, yea   A way out of this mess   So sick of trying to make my time last   An' ending up with less      Know your way of doing things and it   Lost its attraction   Why settle for twenty four   When I can have a hundred fractions?   Who knew I'd be the one   Pulling off that perfect crime?   So here's my new line   I'll change your mind   And the metric system to time      Caused trouble all over the town   An' it's bound to start a reaction   Metric time will come around   It's gonna overtake your contraction   I've found a way out, yea   A way out of this stress   I made my time last and it's   Total success      Got my way of doing things   And it's bound to gain your attraction   Hundred hours is my supply   It's gonna give us all satisfaction   No doubt I'd be the one   Pulling off the perfect crime   So here's my new line   I'll change from mind   And the metric system to time
