Greenwhich mean time

If you're scared on the streets tonight

Looking for a place to hide

This is greenwhich mean time

Too many people in washington

Playing power games they love to play

They're all on greenwhich mean time

It's a world I don't want to know

Bowing how low can you go?

Hear about the people's problems

They don't want to know

And the businessman in london

And the new york stock exchange

They're all on greenwhich mean time

Corporate pollution and greed

In the driver's seat

Keeping greenwhich mean time

It's a world I don't want to know

Kill each other chasing gold

Hear about the world's problems

They don't want to know

I think no matter what time it is

From tokyo to peru

They're on greenwhich mean time

How's the world going to improve

When the dollar continues to rule

And it's always greenwhich mean time

It's a world I don't want to know

Kill each other chasing gold

Hear about the world's problems

They don't want to know -- and for

Every artist out there, there's a

Hundred want to be a cop!
