She's waking up   the mirror says   that her hair is   getting far too long      A coffee cup   to start the day   Better make sure   it's good and strong      To get her through   Got things to do   And now that the clock says eight   cannot be late   so hit the brakes      Lost all your friends    they've had enough   Couldn't watch    while you killed yourself   And you pretend    you gave them up    for a lifetime of cars and wealth      Misunderstood   Don't feel so good   And now that the clock says eight   cannot be late   so hit the brakes      I said hit the brakes      Misunderstood   Don't feel so good   And now that the clock says eight   gonna be late   so hit the brakes      I said hit the brakes
