Runnin' down the interstate Coffee drippin' down my leg Every day I'm runnin' late Gettin' slapped around by the hands of time
Next lane there's a pick-up A girl puttin' on her make-up Her cellular phone's startin' to break up She's gettin' slapped around by the hands of time
Everybody's runnin' a little late like me The whole world's runnin' behind Can't seem to get where we need to be Gettin' slapped around by the hands of time
Here comes a carpool Mama's got her hands full Six kids all late for school Gettin' slapped around by the hands of time
Just passed the governor's motorcade Must've had a flat tire on the way I guess everybody's got to wait When you're slapped around by the hands of time
Everybody's runnin' a little late like me The whole world's runnin' behind Can't seem to get where we need to be Gettin' slapped around by the hands of time
Well everybody's runnin' a little late like me The whole world's runnin' behind Can't seem to get where we need to be Gettin' slapped around by the hands of time
