Running Out the Clock (Bob Dylan) Songtext
von Tim Heidecker

They say Iran has got the bomb
And wants to see us dead
They ask you to ignore the news
Watch the Superbowl instead
Why should you be shocked
We′re all just running out the clock

They say the rivers are polluted
And the water's not safe to drink
But they try to confuse us
And trick us not to think
Better head for the docks
We′re all just running out the clock

Running out the clock
Is the only thing left to do
Running out the clock
Is running out me and you


They say there's guns and murder
And violence on the street
But they tell you just to lie in bed
And hide beneath the sheets
Think you're sly like a fox
And we′re all just running out the clock

They say the food we eat
Is not even fit for a dog
But they sell it to you wholesale
And you walk around in a fog
Might just sell your stocks
We′re all just running out the clock

Running out the clock
Is the only thing left to do
Running out the clock
Is running out me and you

Well, you can try for the Hail Mary
You can go for it on fourth down
You can pray the saints are watching
And rooting for your home town
Pull up your socks
After all, we're just running out the clock
