Shifting Sands

Take a look, in the mirror each morning
Through the sleep in your eyes and the yawning
Look the same as you did yesterday
Subtle changes, another hair turned to grey
Tempus fugit, and before you know it
You notice the stranger, how the hell did they get there?

Shifting sands, well the world never rests, and you're
Out of your depth, you're lost in the wilderness
Out of time, you belong to another age
Losing your relevance, clinging to bygone days
Move aside, just get out of the way, you're a
Casualty of inevitability

Stay afloat while the waters keep rising
Keep your chin up, expand your horizons
For an old dog, a new trick's not easy to learn
But you have to evolve, or you'll crash and burn
Forward momentum ensures our survival
Keep up or shut up 'cause progress is vital

Shifting sands, well the world never rests, and you're
Out of your depth, you're lost in the wilderness
Out of time, you belong to another age
Losing your relevance, clinging to bygone days
Move aside, just get out of the way, you're a
Casualty of inevitability

And the joke of this progress is clear to see
We advance to increased life expectancy
And the consequence of this longevity
Is that you must work 'til you are seventy
Stay awake, keep on top of your game
There's a long road ahead, you're not finished here yet by a long way

Shifting sands, well the world never rests, and you're
Out of your depth, you're lost in the wilderness
Out of time, you belong to another age
Losing your relevance, clinging to bygone days
Move aside, just get out of the way, you're a
Casualty of inevitability

Shifting sands, well the world never rests and you're
Out of your depth, you're lost in the wilderness
Out of time, you belong to another age
Losing your relevance, clinging to bygone days
Move aside, just get out of the way, you're a
Casualty of inevitability

Shifting sands (shifting sands)
(Shifting sands)
Out of time (out of time)
(Shifting sands)
Move aside, just get out of the way, you're a
Casualty of inevitability
