The Overton Window
[Intro]
If every clock
Is running fast...
And every clock
Agrees
Nobody notices
When time’goes missing
Nobody registers
What time it should be.
[Verse]
If there’s no way to set the time
No reference point, let's say
Then every clock will be exact…
But only twice a day
Clocks can all confirm the time
And still be slightly wrong
Consensus only lets you know
The clocks all get along
[Pre-Chorus]
A minute isn't much to lose
And nobody seems to mind
Nobody noticed every clock
Was slowly losing time
[Chorus]
What time is it?
What time is it?
Where has the daylight gone?
What time is it?
What time is it?
It’s only midday,...
where I come from.
[Interlude]
[Verse]
As the years passed by,
the hands kept turning
But they were slowly losing time
Nobody noticed, nobody questioned
Nobody thought to step out of line
Children thought that dawn meant darkness
And that morning came with the moon
Nobody noticed that time had changed
That a piper was calling the tune
[Pre-Chorus]
A minute isn't much to lose
And nobody seems to mind
Nobody noticed every clock
Was slowly losing time
[Chorus]
What time is it?
What time is it?
Where has the daylight gone?
What time is it?
What time is it?
It’s only midday,...
where I come from.
[Interlude]
[Bridge]
They called the morning midnight...
Told the children night had come
They tried to control the hands of time
But couldn't control the sun
That night became day
and day became night
A lie became the truth
And wrong became a right.
All because the people accepted
darkness instead of light
[Outro]
