Текст песни Bylaw - Barenaked Ladies

I woke up, it was 7 a.m.
It sounded like the walls were caving in
There was a man with a truck and he was throwing stuff in
Scraps of rubble and aluminum
So I went outside and I said to him
"Hey, I′m trying to sleep, it's 7 a.m."
Then he looked at me with a mischievous grin
And said, "That is when I can begin"
′Cause there's a bylaw, a bylaw
And I can start work at seven
There's a bylaw and by law
It′s time to wake up, Kevin
I was driving to a show
And I turned the corner nice and slow
I got pulled over by a cop
And she gave me a ticket for a rolling stop
′Cause there's a bylaw, a bylaw
And I can start work at seven
There′s a bylaw, it's a full stop
When you′re turning at the 7-Eleven
Seven-eleven, eleven, seven
Seven-eleven, eleven, seven
Seven-eleven, eleven, seven
Seven-eleven, eleven, stop
The last time I cried there was a mackerel sky
And it wasn't so long ago
The last time we spoke I was telling a joke
And you didn′t laugh at all
You didn't laugh at all
There's a bylaw, a bylaw
And I can start work at seven
There′s a bylaw and by law
It′s time to wake up, Kevin
Time to wake up
Time to wake up
It's time to wake up
It′s time to wake up
It's time
It′s time
It's time
It′s time
To wake up
And greet a brand new day
There's a soft summer wind
There are birds in the trees
There's a clear blue sky
And a bright shining sun
It′s a beautiful day
In this wonderful world
