Crabbuckit

Took a trip on a bus that didn’t know 
Met a girl sellin’ drinks at the disco 
Said truth comes back when you let it go 
Seems complicated ‘cause it’s really so simple 
Walkin’ down Yonge Street on a Friday 
Can’t follow them, gotta do it my way 
No fast lane, still on the highway 
Movin’ in and out, no doubt there’s a brighter way 

No time to get down cause I’m moving up
No time to get down cause I’m moving up
No time to get down cause I’m moving up
Aaaahhhhh, check out the crabs in the bucket 

No time to get down cause I’m moving up
No time to get down cause I’m moving up
No time to get down cause I’m moving up
Aaaahhhhh, check out the crabs in the bucket 

It’s like flies on the windscreen, writing on walls 
Square biz clones claim they’re havin’ a ball 
Foolin’ themselves just before last call 
Tic-A-tic-A-toc, tic-A-tic-A-toc 
Clock strikes twelve, clock strikes one
Smoking gun put these fools on the run 
I know it’s not that simple 
I know it’s not that hard where to go 

No time to get down cause I’m moving up
No time to get down cause I’m moving up
No time to get down cause I’m moving up
Aaaahhhhh, check out the crabs in the bucket 

No time to get down cause I’m moving up
No time to get down cause I’m moving up
No time to get down cause I’m moving up
Aaaahhhhh, check out the crabs in the bucket 

It’s a conniption, fit from the microphone flit 
I take it higher like a bird on a wire, retire the fire 
I never ‘cause I’m just moving on up 
Choosin’ to touch the unseen, craving the clutch 
The most inevitable legible pyromania 
Slayin’ the devil, and sendin’ him back to Transylvania
Strangely enough, I evolved that side of the ghetto
But my heavy metal will settle the puppets like Gepetto
Damn if mirrors were created by sand
Then I’m looking in the water for reflections of man
Understand the minds above time when it’s empty
Emcee, Tragically Hip “Ahead by a Century” 

No time to get down cause I’m moving up
No time to get down cause I’m moving up
No time to get down cause I’m moving up
Aaaahhhhh, check out the crabs in the bucket 

No time to get down cause I’m moving up
No time to get down cause I’m moving up
No time to get down cause I’m moving up
Aaaahhhhh, check out the crabs in the bucket
