Life has a deadline. Tension is high, and when we’re down to the wire, choices shape desperation.

Lyrics

Hey You! You talking to me? I got a restless disposition down to the tee.
Is it you? Or is it me? I don’t need no lame permission to guarantee.
I breakout my agitation. Putting up a fight.
I know two wrongs don’t make a right.

CHORUS
Step Back, time I’m wasting – I’m down to the wire
Getting out, while I can.
I hold the line, and they keep chasing – I’m down to the wire
Right back where I began.

So please, don’t pity on me. You can kiss my you-know-what till’ hell gonna freeze. I gotta punch through, all the sleaze.
I got to break myself away when I feel the squeeze.
This is my revolution, don’t scream and shout. I’ll kick my way till’ I get out.

CHORUS
Get back, man I’m breaking – I’m down to the wire.
Getting out while I can.
I’m about to crack, and they keep taking – I’m down to the wire
This is where I bite the hand.

I just don’t know what they’ve been smoking. They got me worn out to the bone. I’m sick and tired off all this stroking. lord knows I tried, but ya can’t get blood from a stone.
Hey You! You talking to me?

CHORUS
Get Back, time is wasting – I’m down to the wire.
Getting out, while I can.
I hold the line, and they keep chasing – I’m down to the wire
Right back where I began.
I’m down to the wire. I’m down to the wire.
