What a Life

What a life, oh no
What a life, what a life, what a life, what a life
Now all I'm hearing is tic tock, tick tock, ticky tock, tic tock

A brother just pass me and ticking
And said he's much better off not working
And then the mad man on the corner start ticking
Can't get no overnight scraping
So them a walking time bomb and ready to explode
Now them a walking time bomb can't take the overload now

The organizers check say them clicking
So them palavering and drinking
Not realizing the boat is leaking
And any minute now it will be sinking
'Cause we a walking time bomb oh ya we're ready to explode
So we a walking time bomb the circuit overload

Ooh jealousy must go on as long as you think it's you alone
To eat off the pies and tell all your lies
But what a big surprise
When all the people start gathering
Communicating and saying the same thing
Too late before you realizing
That hadn't been for the reggae rhythm
Whole a we a walking time bomb oh ya
We're ready to explode ooh and we a walking time bomb
Can't take the overload now
Say we a walking time bomb
We're ready to explode anytime
And we a walking time bomb
The circuit overload oh now

And all I'm hearing is a tic tock, a tic tock
A ticky tock, a tick tock again
A tick tock, a tick tock, a tick a ticky tick tock again
I said a brother just past me and ticking
Nothing no going in the juggling
Him turn a walking time bomb
Can't take the overload no

A wonder what the government thinking
When them palavering and drinking
Not realizing the boat is leaking
And any minute now it will be sinking
'Cause we a walking time bomb oh yeah
We're ready to explode now
And we a walking time bomb
The circuit overload

Ooh now jealousy must go on
As long as you think it's you alone
Eat off the pies
And tell all your lies
But what a big surprise
When everyone start gathering
Communicating and saying the same thing
Too late before you realizing
That hadn't been for the reggae rhythm
The whole a we a walking time bomb
We're ready to explode
And we a walking time bomb
The circuit overload now
All I'm hearing is tick tock, tick tock
Tick tick tock
