Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?

As I was walking down the street one day

A man came up to me and asked me what the time was that was on my watch, yeah

And I said

Does anybody really know what time it is

Does anybody really care

If so I can't imagine why

We've all got time enough to cry

And I was walking down the street one day

A pretty lady looked at me and said her diamond watch had stopped cold dead

And I said

Does anybody really know what time it is

Does anybody really care

If so I can't imagine why

We've all got time enough to cry

And I was walking down the street one day

Being pushed and shoved by people trying to beat the clock, oh, no I just don't know

I don't know

And I said, yes I said

Background

People runnin' everywhere

Don't know where to go

Don't know where I am

Can't see past the next step

Don't have time to think past the last mile

Have no time to look around

Just run around, run around and think why

Does anybody really know what time it is

Does anybody really care

If so I can't imagine why

We've all got time enough to die
