Time is slipping away, I can feel it rushing past
The minutes turn into days and the days fly by so fast
All around me values change, I can't hear what's going on
Am I falling far behind, have I got this whole thing wrong?
But I've got no answers, got no clues
I can't understand the rules
I can't believe that we're all fools

I question all that I've done, try to hold my self-respect
The little ground that I've won looks like slowly being wrecked
I see others fall in line, I can't help myself but smile
How their point of view changed round oh in such a short short while
But I'm no quitter, just get that straight
I've come too far, it's much too late
I'm still on line and I just won't wait

So don't count me out, I'm still in with a shout
I'm well known as a stayer, of that have no doubt
I'm running on strong, you've got it all wrong
I ain't making no waves, I'm just cruising along
Don't think I've been beat, I won't give you that treat
You might think that I'm down, but I'm still on my feet
So don't count me out, I'm still in with a shout
Don't count me out ...

I feel things going my way, oh my time is almost here
It may not happen today, but I've waited all these years
Oh, sometimes it's been so hard watching others pass me by
But I'm still here fighting strong and I've made no compromise
'Cause I'm no quitter, let's get that straight
I've come too far and it's much too late
I'm still on line and I just won't wait

So don't count me out, I'm still in with a shout
I'm well known as a stayer, of that have no doubt
I'm running on strong, you've got it all wrong
I ain't making no waves, I'm just cruising along
Don't think I've been beat, I won't give you that treat
You might think that I'm down, but I'm still on my feet
So don't count me out, I'm still in with a shout ...
