in a hurry

hand me down 
the New York times
I'm a busy man
I can't wait in line
everything is begging
for my attention
I've got no time
for idle chat
I've got no patience
for stuff like that
and, if I have to ask,
do I have to mention
that I am in a hurry
I am in a hurry
I am in a hurry
and I got nowhere to go

give me liberty
or rising costs
must I remind you
who's the boss
my rapid pace
has turned into a deluge
can't you see
I am never free
from the demands of
the company
I don't know what else
I can tell you
except
I am in a hurry
I am in a hurry
I am in a hurry
and I got nowhere to go

peace of mind
or piece of profit
I got on the first
and then went off it
I have made my bed
now let me lie
I don't have a 
New York minute
I don't have time
to even begin it
while every second 
keeps on ticking by
look
I am in a hurry
I am in a hurry 
I am in a hurry
and I got nowhere to go
