Look around you
There's a world full of pain
Don't you know you can
Turn away and get it up and
Start it all again

Oh, what a sad sad picture
Who can tell the future? I don't know
But give us one more chance
Let us find an answer
In any direction, in any direction

It's just a matter of time
But time is running out
It's just a matter of time
There ain't no doubt about it
It's just a matter of time
People standing in line
It's just a matter of time
Oh, now I made up my mind

I want to know
What I can do about it, yeah
And is one man, willing to go
Against a crowd of people
But trouble started up, long before the radio (radio, radio, radio)
Radio began to hit the times, and keep the times
And give the times to us, yeah, yeah
In every direction of our lives

It's just a matter of time
But time is running out
It's just a matter of time
There ain't no doubt about it
It's just a matter of time
People standing in line
It's just a matter of time
Oh, now I made up my mind

I'm not afraid to take the hand of a stranger
I'm not disguised as a party of angels
But something just occured to me, music is the remedy yeah, yeah, yeah
It covers all the range and music is a language
In every direction yeah

It's just a matter of time
Yeah, Yeah, there ain't no doubt about it
It's just a matter of time
Oh, oh, People standing in line
It's just a matter of time…
