Cracking the Whip

Well, you've always been too slow
And you've always been too late
You should have known oh so long ago
That your life is at stake

'Cause you never could keep up
And you never read the signs
Now you are turning dust to dust
You are running out of time

Cracking the whip
It's a new kind of pain
Cracking the whip
Don't try in vain

You were always in despair
Seems like you were born to lose
Now you're dying, no one cares
Cannon on the loose

Looks like you missed the boat
And you didn't catch that train
Now you're crying and trying, in vain
Can't take the pain

Cracking the whip
It's a new kind of pain
Cracking the whip
Don't try in vain

Cracking the whip
It's a new kind of pain
Cracking the whip
Don't try in vain

Cracking the whip
Cracking the whip
Cracking the whip
It's a new kind of pain
Cracking the whip
Don't try in vain
