Pick Up the Tempo

People are saying

Time'll take care of people like me

I'm living too fast

They say I can't last much longer

But little they see

Their thoughts of me are my savior

And little they know

That the beat oughta go just a little faster

So pick up the tempo just a little and take it on home

The singer ain't singin'

And the drummer's been draggin' too long

Time'll take care of itself

So just leave time alone

Pick up the tempo just a little

And take it on home

Well, I'm wild and I'm mean

I'm creatin' a scene, I'm goin' crazy

I'm good and I'm bad

I'm happy and I'm sad and I'm lazy

I'm quiet and I'm loud

And I'm gatherin' a crowd, I like gravy

'Bout half off the wall

But I learned it all in the Navy

So pick up the tempo just a little

And take it on home

The singer ain't singin'

And the drummer's been draggin' too long

Time'll take care of itself

So just leave time alone

And pick up the tempo just a little

And take it on home

(Yeah, thank you, oh man)

(Alright, thank you, Bruce)

(That's a good one)
