[Verse 1]
Ain't on your TV, ain't on your phone
You want the truth you got to find it on your own
It may not be that easy to see
The truth will cost you in the land of the free
It's a good question to be asking yourself
What is the good life, what is wealth?
What is the future I'm trying to see?
What does that future need from me?

[Chorus]
Time rolling away, time like a river, time like a train
Time like a fuse burning shorter every day

[Verse 2]
Maybe you knew it when you were young
Not that much distance between you and the sun
But now you're wiser and you're afraid
You see the stakеs, and the mistakes that have been madе
It's a good question to be asking yourself
What is well being, what is health?
What is illusion and what is true?
What is my purpose - what can I do?

[Chorus]
Time rolling away, time like a river, time like a train
Time like a fuse burning shorter every day
[Verse 3]
Ain't no directions, there ain't no map
Ain't no instructions, and you know there ain't no app
You want power? You'll need help
Look to each other and you find it in yourself
It's a good question to be asking right now
What'll you put up with - what'll you allow?
What is the color, the color of change?
What is the reason these times are so strange?
What is democracy? What is the deal?
What would it look like? How would it feel?
Putting your shoulder to the wheel
Keeping it turning until justice is real

[Chorus]
Time rolling away, time like a river, time like a train
Time like a fuse burning shorter every day

[Outro]
What is democracy? What is the deal?
What would it look like? How would it feel?
Putting your shoulder to the wheel
And staying with it until justice
Until justice is real
