The bell rings and rings

When you start your day

The ritual routine

Takes over 

Why do wolves hunt in packs

If they were like us would they survive

Could it be, they know more than us

Check the clock, check the clock

Never be late

It does not matter what you do

Check the clock, check the clock

Always leave on time

If the squirrel monkey's left the trees

Would they don dark suits

Or would grey be their colour

Fast cars, career  driven

Media inspired dreams

Selling self, but always selling short

Maybe nature knows better than us

It would not be hard

For we don't know that much

Another alarm clock strikes fear

Another human screams, but the world does not hear
