By 2161, genetic alteration has allowed humanity to stop aging at 25 but people are required to earn more time after turning 25 or die when their accumulated time runs out. 'Living time', which can be transferred among individuals on body-contact, has replaced money and its availability is displayed on an implant on people's lower arm. When that clock reaches zero, one dies instantly. Society is divided by social class living in specialized towns called 'Time Zones'. The poor live in the ghettos of Dayton, where youth predominates, and must work each day to earn a few more hours of life, which they must also use to pay for everyday necessities. The rich live in the luxurious city-like town called New Greenwich, in which the middle-aged and elderly predominate, though they look young because they have stopped aging at 25 years old. They drive fast electric cars, and can live for centuries.
I haven't been sleeping
I haven't been eating
I know I should leave it
You're not into me at all
It's a little misleading
When I'm shaking my feelings
Suddenly I'm appealing
You're the one who calls
But we never get just what we want
The ones we yearn for give us no thought
We never learn from what we're taught
We do the damage on our own
So give me a lead or leave me alone
'Cause I'm getting tired of holding the phone
Give me a lead or leave me alone, alone, alone
I really can't think straight
Should do what my friends say
Keeping falling on your blade
And I know it's all my fault
I feel like a cliché
I'm everything I hate
Keep running the wrong way
Straight into a wall
But we never get just what we want
The ones we yearn for give us no thought
We never learn from what we're taught
We do the damage on our own
So give me a lead or leave me alone
'Cause I'm getting tired of holding the phone
Give me a lead or leave me alone, alone, alone
So show me a feeling 'cause you're made of stone
Don't make me plead for a yes or a no
Give me a lead or leave me alone, alone, alone
I gotta leave, gotta let you go
You'll never see I'm the one you want
I'm better off just on my own
I gotta leave, gotta let you go
You'll never see I'm the one you want
Until I'm gone
So give me a lead or leave me alone
'Cause I'm getting tired of holding the phone
Give me a lead or leave me alone, alone, alone
So show me a feeling 'cause you're made of stone
Don't make me plead for a yes or a no
Give me a lead or leave me alone, alone, alone
I gotta leave, gotta let you go
You'll never see I'm the one you want
I'm better off just on my own
I gotta leave, gotta let you go
You'll never see I'm the one you want
Until I'm gone
