Philip the Engineer - JR JR

Philip the engineer sits down

And lays the blueprint on the ground

At this point he’s the only one who can read them

It’s been 5 years since the sky crashed down

The city has moved underground

And he’s the one who built the walls that saved them

But he knows, he knows

They’re slowly caving, caving

I don’t wanna be the one who says it’s broken but

Somebody’s gotta tell it like it is

And I don’t wanna kill the vibe or burst your bubble babe

But time makes grownups out of kids

Oh time makes grownups out of kids

Harold Bronson grew up here

Apprentice to the engineer

He’s never seen the sun or stars before

And he’s studying all night and day

He’s losing sleep to learn his trade

But he’s noticed a flaw in Philip’s equation

And he knows, he knows

They’re all in danger, danger

I don’t wanna be the one who says it’s broken but

Somebody’s gotta tell it like it is

And I don’t wanna kill the vibe or burst your bubble babe

But time makes grownups out of kids

Oh time makes grownups out of kids

But you’re so fragile already

And we all fear what’s heavy

Cause heavy things must all fall down

So should I tell the truth if you’re not ready?

I don’t wanna be the one who says it’s broken nut

Somebody’s gotta tell it like it is

And I don’t wanna kill the vibe or burst your bubble babe

But time makes grownups out of kids

Oh time makes grownups out of kids

You can’t stop the time

So kiss your kids goodbye

You can’t stop the time

So kiss your kids goodbye
