You can’t stop the clock from turning
You can’t stop the days from burning off
You better chew the fat man, you better lick the bone
‘Cause it doesn’t take too long for it all to be gone
Oh Yeah, I’m gone
CHORUS
Nothing’s gonna keep me here taking all the shit I took from you
You’re gonna have to hold your own hand now
‘Cause that’s what big kids do. That’s what big kids do
What you gonna be now that this thing’s through?
Staring at the wall just thinking
I start sinking when the thinking gets too much
But I know I’m done saying I’m sorry
‘Cause sorry’s not enough to shut you up
Oh Yeah, I’m gone
CHORUS ---
I’m not trying to drag this out I’m not trying to take too long
But I’m long gone
I’m not trying to paint you bad, I’m not trying to make you wrong
But I’m long gone. I’m long gone
CHORUS ---
