Well, there's busy people
And they're doing fine
It's their energy
That really hurts
Doing this and that
I don't have the time
I wonder how
They all make it work
Always on the run never slowing down
Forever tethered to the merry-go-round
I guess that's one way to get through life
What a choice to make
There are vows that you'd really like to keep
But there's things you gotta say to get to sleep
A promise made under duress
Is easy to break
Busy people
And they're doing fine
It's their energy
That really hurts
Doing this and that
I don't have the time
I wonder how
They all make it work
Do you need help to get it all together
Is your mood molded by the weather
The idea that we can't dress ourselves
Is a one hard to shake
Paralyzed by the smallest misdirection
Some mistake [distaste] for affection
A Heart bereft of conviction
Is easy to break
Busy people
And they're doing fine
It's their energy
That really hurts
Doing this and that
Who has the time
I wonder how
They all make it work
