[00:02.20] All work no play may have made jack a dull boy
[00:07.06] But all work no god has left jack with a lost soul
[00:12.39] But he's moving on full steam
[00:14.90] He's chasing the american dream
[00:17.16]
[00:17.73] And he's gonna give his family the finer things
[00:24.57]
[00:33.84] Not this time son I've no time to waste
[00:39.20]
[00:40.01] Maybe tomorrow we'll have time to play
[00:44.77] And then he slips into his new bmw
[00:49.97] And drives farther and farther and farther away
[00:55.22]
[00:55.79] So he works all day and tries to sleep at night
[01:02.69]
[01:03.57] He says things will get better
[01:05.99]
[01:06.97] Better in time
[01:08.71] 'Cause he works and he builds with his own two hands
[01:14.14] And he pours all he has in a castle made with sand
[01:19.45] But the wind and the rain are comin' crashing in
[01:24.84] Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands
[01:32.45]
[01:33.42] His kingdom stands
[01:36.36]
[01:41.39] His american dream is beginning to seem
[01:46.22]
[01:46.87] More and more like a nightmare
[01:49.57] With every passing day
[01:52.09] Daddy can you come to my game
[01:54.57] Oh baby please don't work late
[01:56.97]
[01:57.74] Another wasted weekend
[01:59.98] And they are slipping away
[02:02.85] 'Cause he works all day and lies awake at night
[02:10.15]
[02:10.75] He tells them things will get better
[02:13.58] Just take a little more time
[02:16.05] 'Cause he works and he builds with his own two hands
[02:21.56] And he pours all he has in a castle made with sand
[02:26.83] But the wind and the rain are comin' crashing in
[02:32.26] Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands
[02:40.23]
[02:41.12] His kingdom stands
[02:43.91]
[02:47.86] He used to say who ever dies with the most toys wins
[02:54.23] But if he loses his soul what has he gained in the end
[02:58.99]
[02:59.73] I'll take a shack on a rock
[03:01.47]
[03:02.18] Over a castle in the sand
[03:05.48] Now he works all day and cries alone at night
[03:11.78]
[03:12.92] It's not getting any better
[03:15.74] Looks like he's running out of time
[03:18.11] 'Cause he worked and he built with his own two hands
[03:23.56] And he poured all he had in a castle made with sand
[03:28.90] But the wind and the rain are coming crashing in
[03:34.29] Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands
[03:43.15] His kingdom stands
[03:45.70]
[03:50.82] All they really wanted was you
[03:53.54] All they really wanted was you
[03:56.33] All they really wanted was you
