[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Know your way of doing things and it lost its attraction
Why settle for twenty four when I can have a hundred fractions?
Who knew I'd be the one pulling off that perfect crime?
So here's my new line, I'll change your mind and the metric system in time

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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 in time
