Pick Up the Tempo

People are saying that time will take care of people like me

That I'm livin' too fast and they say I can't last too much longer

But little they see that their thoughts of me is my saviour

And little they know that the beat oughta go just a little faster

So pick up the tempo just a little and take it on home

The singer ain't singin' and the drummer's been draggin' too long

Time will take care of itself so just leave time alone

And pick up the tempo just a little and take it on home

Well I'm wild and I'm mean and I'm creatin' a scene I'm goin' crazy

Well I'm good and I'm bad and I'm happy and I'm sad and I'm lazy

I'm quiet and I'm loud and I'm gatherin' a crowd and I like gravy

So pick up the tempo just a little and take it on home

The singer ain't singin' and the drummer's been draggin' too long

Time will take care of itself so just leave time alone

And pick up the tempo just a little and take it on home

So pick up the tempo
