Billy Squier ~ Time-bomb


I'm sittin' on a time-bomb The world is like a time-bomb And it's about to explode... There once was a young boy...a modestly done boy Who seemed pretty normal on sight Wantin' for nothin'...but wantin' for somethin' But mama made everything right Inside her protection he learned of rejection By a world that was not quite his own He took his reward in a double-edged sword Now the poor boy is always alone He built himself a time-bomb A ticking, talking time-bomb It's about to explode under me His world is like a time-bomb A walking, talking time-bomb It's about to explode under me Now off on a new day...alone in her own way A young girl waits by the phone Longin' for daddy...she's missin' him badly She knows that he's not comin' home So down by the levee...her heart weighin' heavy She knows that she's got to break free She falls when she sees him...she knows how to please him They can't see the woods for the trees She built herself a time-bomb A walking, talking time-bomb It's about to explode under me She's sittin' on a time-bomb A ticking, talking time-bomb It's about to explode under me You gotta have faith late into the night If there's another day...try to make it right Find another way...shine another light So now they're both older...their world growin' colder And nothin' appears as it seemed They look to their future...and the wounds that they nurture And try to hold on to their dreams This terrible twosome have really been through some Scenes that they both know by heart Mem'ries that jail them...support that has failed them And they laugh but it tears them apart We're sittin' on a time-bomb A ticking, talking time-bomb It's about to explode under me This world is like a time-bomb A walking, talking time-bomb It's about to explode under me The world is like a time-bomb A ticking, talking time-bomb We're sittin' on a time-bomb and it's about to explode I see the enemy...and he looks like me I see the enemy...and he looks like me Looks a lot like you--looks a lot like me Looks a lot like you--looks a lot like me more free lyrics

I'm sittin' on a time-bomb
The world is like a time-bomb
And it's about to explode...

There once was a young boy...a modestly done boy
Who seemed pretty normal on sight
Wantin' for nothin'...but wantin' for somethin'
But mama made everything right
Inside her protection he learned of rejection
By a world that was not quite his own
He took his reward in a double-edged sword
Now the poor boy is always alone

He built himself a time-bomb
A ticking, talking time-bomb
It's about to explode under me
His world is like a time-bomb
A walking, talking time-bomb
It's about to explode under me

Now off on a new day...alone in her own way
A young girl waits by the phone
Longin' for daddy...she's missin' him badly
She knows that he's not comin' home
So down by the levee...her heart weighin' heavy
She knows that she's got to break free
She falls when she sees him...she knows how to please him
They can't see the woods for the trees

She built herself a time-bomb
A walking, talking time-bomb
It's about to explode under me
She's sittin' on a time-bomb
A ticking, talking time-bomb
It's about to explode under me

You gotta have faith late into the night
If there's another day...try to make it right
Find another way...shine another light

So now they're both older...their world growin' colder
And nothin' appears as it seemed
They look to their future...and the wounds that they nurture
And try to hold on to their dreams
This terrible twosome have really been through some
Scenes that they both know by heart
Mem'ries that jail them...support that has failed them
And they laugh but it tears them apart

We're sittin' on a time-bomb
A ticking, talking time-bomb
It's about to explode under me
This world is like a time-bomb
A walking, talking time-bomb
It's about to explode under me
The world is like a time-bomb
A ticking, talking time-bomb
We're sittin' on a time-bomb and it's about to explode

I see the enemy...and he looks like me
I see the enemy...and he looks like me
Looks a lot like you--looks a lot like me
Looks a lot like you--looks a lot like me

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
