[ verse one ]
It's high now
So low it's high
Like this, check it out yoTook a trip on a bus that I didn't know
Met a girl sellin' drinks at the disco
Said truth comes back when you let it go
Seems complicated cause it's really so simple
Walkin' down Yonge Street on a Friday
Can't follow them, gotta do it my way
No fast lane, still on a highway
Movin' in and out, no doubt there's a brighter day
[ chorus [ repeat 2x ]
No time to get down cause I'm moving up
No time to get down cause I'm moving up
No time to get down cause I'm moving up
Ahh, haa... check out the crabs in the bucket[ verse two ]
(It's like this, it's like this, yeah it really is)
It's like flys on the windscreen, writing on walls
square these clones claim there havin a ball
flamin' themselves just before last call
Tic-a-tic-a-toc tic-a-tic-a-toc
Clock strikes twelve, clock strikes one
Smoking gun put these fools on the run
I know it's not that simple, I know it's not that hard
where's your goal
[ chorus [ repeat 2x ]
No time to get down cause I'm moving up
No time to get down cause I'm moving up
No time to get down cause I'm moving up
Ahh, haa... check out the crabs in the bucket[ verse three ]
(Ya know 'at I mean, yeah, I heard you man, yo, check, yo)
Yo, it's a conniption, fit on the microphones flit
I take it higher like a bird on a wire, retire the fire
I never, cause I'm just moving on up,
Choosin' to touch, the unseen, craving the clutch
The most inevitable, legible pyro-mania
Slaying the devil, and send em back to Transylvania
Strangely enough, I uphold that side of the ghetto
From my heavy metal will settle the puppets like Gepetto
Damm, if mirrors where created by sand
when I'm looking in the water for reflections of man
Understand the minds above time when it's empty
MC, Tragically Hip - Ahead by a Century[ chorus [ repeat 2x ]
No time to get down cause I'm moving up
No time to get down cause I'm moving up
No time to get down cause I'm moving up
Ahh, haa... check out the crabs in the bucket
