Speed Kills - Gil Scott-Heron

Speed on by

Don’t seem to have the time

What about this life?

What about this life

Can I call mine?

Issues in the paper

Somehow, I’m not concerned

Seems that I’ve been here before

Here before, but I never learn

Children

Slowly turn

Time stay gone

We never saw it go

Now what do we have?

Now what do we have

That we may show?

Friends you swore you’d never lose

Melted from your style

Down the tunnels of your youth

Of your youth.

Now you never smile

Children

Learn to smile
