Trivality of time

Beating that clock, flipping people off daily, verbal or physical confrontations often at the drop of a hat, a hightened sense of self importance & social status, agressively condeming those with different viewpoints, humiliating employees with snobbish distain, avoiding human connection to the weak, lonely or suffering, vigorously keeping up with the Jones; it all wont be so important at the end of life, because in the end, death is the equalizer.

 

Does anybody know what time it is?

By Chicago 1969

( listen carefully to the speaking deep in the background starting on the 3rd refrain, it is quite profound)

"As I was walking down the street one day

A man came up to me and asked me what the time was that was on my watch

And I said…

Does anybody really know what time it is?

Does anybody really care…care about time?

If so I can't imagine why

We've all got time enough to cry

 

And I was walking down the street one day

A pretty lady looked at me and said her diamond watch had stopped cold dead

And I said…

Does anybody really know what time it is?

Does anybody really care…care about time?

If so I can't imagine why

We've all got time enough to cry

 

As I was walking down the street one day

(People runnin' everywhere)

Pushed and shoved by people they don't know; (where to go?)

Trying to beat the clock, oh no I just don't know

don't know where I am

(Oh I don't have time to think past the last step

Have no time to look around).

And I said, yes run around and think why

 

Does anybody really know what time it is, I don't

Does anybody really care.. care about time?

If so I can't imagine why

We've all got time enough to die"
