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?
(I don't care)
Does anybody really care?
(About time)
If so, I can't imagine why
(I don't know)
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?
(I don't care)
Does anybody really care?
(About time)
If so, I can't imagine why
(I don't know)
We've all got time enough to cry

And I was walking down the street one day
Being pushed and shoved by people tryin' to beat the dock
Oh oh, I just don't know, I 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?

(I don't care)
Does anybody really care?
(About time)
If so, I can't imagine why
(I don't know)
We've all got time enough to die

Everybody's wondering
(I don't care)
I don't care
(About time)
About time
(I don't know)
I don't care
