Changeable Time
[Intro
Tick tock am I measuring them
Or are they measuring me
And has it all been in
Just the mind of the observer
[Verse
What even is a second who chose 60
And why wasn't it a good old 50
And why wasn't it another ten
And does time follow another trend
[Verse
What even is a minute who chose 60
Why was it fitted into an hour like that
And if the hour was a different thing
Would they be 60
[Verse
Can you explain to me a day
And I don't mean a rotation on our own axis
No I want to know what a day is
And if the sun lapped slower around us
Would it still be 24 hours
And does an hour exist because it does
And it could have been a different amount of time
This place doesn't even exist
[Verse
Can someone tell me what a week is
Seven days
Which is seven rotations of our planet
Based around a Gregorian measurement
Which was originally Egyptian so far Chinese Roman Jewish and Babylonian
And probably another coupling thrown in
[Verse
What even is a year
A rotation around our own sun
And how dare it dictate to me how old I am
When people in the past used a lunar calendar
And were all the wise women killed by the Inquisition
Was it them who reinstated thirteen moons a year
