I was right all along,
Yeah, [x3]
You come tagging along,
Exhibit A,
On a tray,
What you say,
Ends up thrown in your face,
Exhibit B,
What you see,
Well that's me,
I'll put you back in your place
Yeah I've done it before,
And I can do it some more,
So what you waiting for?
Yeah!
I was right all along!
[Chorus]
You know I've done it before,
And I can do it some more,
I've got my eye on the score,
I'm gonna cut through the floor,
It's too late,
It's too soon,
Or is it,
Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick,Boom!
Yeah, [x3]
I was right you were wrong,
Yeah, [x3]
Going, going you're gone!
I saw you yesterday, waiting too much,
Till it slipped through your hands,
And then you stagger to your feet and out the door,
Cos there's no second chance!
[Chorus]
Now you come crying to me,
But it's too late!
The man you're proud to be,
But it's too late!
Get your head out of the sand,
But it's too late,
It's too late,
Too late,
Too late,
Too late!
Yeah!
But it's too late! [x2]
Get your head out of the sand,
But it's too late!
[Chorus]
It's too late,
It's too soon,
It's too late,
It's too soon,
It's too late,
It's too soon,
Or is it,
Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick,.
BOOM!
