Handful of almonds from the jar upon my desktop To stall my hunger just until I'm ready to stop I know it's time to relocate to the dining hall But this simple snack allows me to ignore the call Just need to finish one more thing, or maybe I will do it all Real quickly (Who needs lunch?) Real quickly (I know I do) Real quickly (Almost done) In the end no one will have won When it comes to the speed that we're all moving at I wish I could be more like a cat The passion is there, but they don't give a care About being on time When it comes to the speed that we're all moving at I wish we could all be, more like cats Are they deeply in the moment, or far away in space? Either way they know it's not a race I'm getting sick of making all of these to-do lists I know we've got to get stuff done, I know we must persist But I can't help but think of all the things we must have missed And when I do, I gotta say, I get a little pissed Why's it so hard for work and play to coexist, we move Real quickly (It's never over) Real quickly (It's not fair) Real quickly (Keep on moving) In the end, will we really care?
