All This Time - Jonathan Coulton

10,700 days

We’ve been accident-free.

I practice my confident face;

My pod’s depending on me.

Working hours fill the day,

Spending credits when we stay

at home.

So long since anyone has seen

Out past the edge of our zone.

One of the friendlier machines

Say’s I should leave it alone.

But I wonder anyway

'bout some things I shouldn’t say…

What if Kurzweil doesn’t make it?

What if all the switches get struck on destroy?

When the shuttle goes, we won’t take it,

When the final coulter-measures are deployed,

All we’ll have is all this time.

All we’ll have is all this time,

All this time.

Red’s for focus, blue’s to not get upset.

Wasters and complainers get what they get.

All eyes watching, no one’s noticed me yet.

I’ll tell the secret if I speak,

It’s what I’m smiling about.

I keep it tucked into my cheek,

'til it’s safe to spit out.

Things are stranger than they seem,

Now I remember what I dreamed.

What if Kurzweil doesn’t make it?

What if all the switches get struck on destroy?

When the shuttle goes, we won’t take it,

When the final coulter-measures are deployed,

All we’ll have is all this time.

All we’ll have is all this time.

All we’ll have is all this time,

All this time.
