Seven Minute Mile Lyrics

When the egg is fried and the coffee's poured

When the prisoners's tried and the chairman's bored

When you get all your ducks in a row

I'll be there with my seeds to sow

What's it gonna take to turn the world around

It's a five minute race and a seven minute mile

How much longer til the walls fall down?

I'll be standing in the middle at the top of the pile

If the tide is turned and the tongue is tied

The bridge is burned and the piper's pied

When you've found both birds in the bush

I'll be ready to give you a push

What's it gonna take to turn the world around

It's a five minute race and a seven minute mile

How much longer til the walls fall down?

I'll be standing in the middle at the top of the pile

When the window's locked and the door is closed

the pistol's cocked and the cock has crowed

When you think you've beat me at last

You'll be under the ground so fast

What's it gonna take to turn the world around

It's a five minute race and a seven minute mile

How much longer til the walls fall down?

I'll be standing in the middle at the top of the pile
