[Verse 1]
The city's being swallowed
By a tidal wave of venom, fraud and horniness
I must have been asleep for a long time
What the Hell've I missed?
So many things keep changing
But I never pay attention 'til it's much too late
So thanks a lot for getting me signed up here
With everyone I hate
[Chorus 1]
Forward march, quick, zip
Gotta have fun, take a trip
Everyone's giving me the slip these days
See something you like, go and get it
Don't hold back, you'll regret it
Disappointment likes to get its own way
So I just do the things I can
I guess it's true
That I'm a man out of time
I must be a man out of time
[Verse 2]
The old guard's disappearing
And I'm bent, intent on picking up some new friends
I really should've started thirty years ago
'Cause this never ends
As I gaze out on the concrete jungle
All I see is vultures, sharks, and crocodiles
And on top of all that it's you again
Forgive me if I don't smile
[Chorus 2]
Forward march, quick, zip
Gotta have fun, take a trip
Everyone's giving me the slip these days
See something you like, go and get it
Don't hold back, you'll regret it
Everybody likes to get their own way
So I just do the things I can
I guess it's true
That I'm a man out of time
I must be a man out of time
[Bridge]
I'll tell you what I'm going to do
Gonna make a list of all the things I've been through
Go around all the places I've been
And look at everyone who should've done something
And vent my spleen
And vent my spleen
[Verse 3]
Sitting in the local thinking over
How things ever got so retrograde...
Was it a dearth of ambition?
Or just one lousy decision that I made?
Well I suppose it must have happened
But by now I don't remember
So I guess it must have all slipped away
[Chorus 3]
Stumble in, far past fucked
Lock the door, cover and duck
Everyone really seems to suck these days
Come out dressed for success
Trying my best to impress
Everyone puts me to the test this way
It's what they do, because they can
So, is it true
That I'm a man out of time?
Am I just a man out of time?
(Woo!)
The city's being swallowed
By a tidal wave of venom, fraud and horniness
I must have been asleep for a long time
What the Hell've I missed?
So many things keep changing
But I never pay attention 'til it's much too late
So thanks a lot for getting me signed up here
With everyone I hate
[Chorus 1]
Forward march, quick, zip
Gotta have fun, take a trip
Everyone's giving me the slip these days
See something you like, go and get it

So I just do the things I can
I guess it's true
That I'm a man out of time
I must be a man out of time
