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, yeah   A way out of this mess      So sick of trying to make my time last   And ending up with less   I know your way of doing things   And it has lost it's attraction      Why settle for twenty-four   When I can have a hundred fractions   Who knew I'd be the one   Pulling off the 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   And it's bound to start a reaction   Metric time will come around   It's gonna overtake your contraction      I've found a way out, yeah   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 my mind   And the metric system to time
