Gil Scott-Heron - Speed Kills Lyrics
Speed on by, don't seem to have the time
What about this life?
What about this life?
Can I come by?
Seems that I've been here before
Here before, but I never learn
Children
Slowly turn
Time stay gone, we never saw it go
Now what do we have?
Now what do we have, that we may show?
Friends you swore you'd never lose (melted from your style)
Now you never smile
Children
Learn to smile
