More Time - Madeleine Peyroux

Well we marching out the old towards the new century

Armed with the new technology

We getting more and more productivity

Some say things looking up for prosperity

But if everyone is going to get a share this time

Old mentality must be left behind

I want the shorter working day

The shorter working week

Longer holidays

Peace and quiet

More time for leisure, for pleasure

For edification and creation

Time to contemplate, to ruminate

And to relay

Gimme more time

More time

We need more time

A full time and abolish unemployment

Revolutionize labour deployment

Full time, we bannish overtime

Let everybody get to work this time

We need a higher quality of «livity»

And we need it now

And for everybody

I want the shorter working year

The shorter working life

More time for the husband

More time for the wife

More time for the children

For to train them

For to educate then create

More time for living

More time for life

Give me more time

Give me more time

We need more time

More time to meditate

Concentrate

Ruminate

Recreate

And relate

And create

More time
