Greenwhich Mean Time Lyrics - Down By Law

if you're scared on the streets tonight 

looking for a place to hide 

this is greenwhich mean time 

too many people in washington 

playing power games they love to play 

they're all on greenwhich mean time 

it's a world i don't want to know 

bowing how low can you go? 

hear about the people's problems 

they don't want to know 

and the businessman in london 

and the new york stock exchange 

they're all on greenwhich mean time 

corporate pollution and greed 

in the driver's seat 

keeping greenwhich mean time 

it's a world i don't want to know 

kill each other chasing gold 

hear about the world's problems 

they don't want to know 

i think no matter what time it is 

from tokyo to peru 

they're on greenwhich mean time 

how's the world going to improve 

when the dollar continues to rule 

and it's always greenwhich mean time 

it's a world i don't want to know 

kill each other chasing gold 

hear about the world's problems 

they don't want to know -- and for 

every artist out there, there's a 

hundred want to be a cop!
