My New Work Ethic – 17th November 1996

It’s hard to contemplate
The complete waste of time I spend chasing the dollar
I’m so busy doing
Now I’ve no idea where I’m going

Yesterday I had to wait somewhere for a while
And I noticed a tree
A tree I knew was there
But just never saw it before

It was weird and twisted
And I realised sometimes you have to stand still
Just to see what is there
To take stock, real stock

Life is short and precious, I wish I wasn’t wasting most of it
