[Intro]
(Shout!) “Is it time to punch out?”
[Verse 1]
Is your time running down
(Just look around)
As you clock is winding down
(Down, down, down)
[Break]
(Shout!) “Is it time to punch out?”
Whoa, no I ain’t done
(“Is it time to punch out?”)
Whoa, know I’m in for some….
[Chorus 1]
Has your clock been rocked
(Tick tock)
Has your rock been clocked
(Take stock)
Alive enough to roll the goal
(Long live rock!)
[Verse 2]
Are your days numbered
(Become all the number)
As you clock is counting down
(Down, down, down)
[Chorus 2]
Has your clock been rocked
(Tick tock)
Sound will unlock your clock
(Take stock)
Free enough to roll the goal
(Long live rock!)
[Bridge, Vocal Harmony]
Upon our rock
(Long live rock!)
Hear the knock
(Long live rock!)
Open the door
(And love some more)
[Chorus 3]
Now our clocks wound tight
(New insight)
We’ll keep up the fight
(Knew in sight)
Free enough to roll the goal
(Long live rock!)
[Outro]
Upon our rock
(Long live rock!)
Hear her knock
(Long live rock!)
Open the door
(And love some more)
ABOUT THE SONG
“Clocked” uses the metaphor of time, music, and Earth itself—referred to as the “3rd rock from the sun”—to express a message of urgency, resilience, and the need to reconnect with the living planet in the face of the climate crisis.
In the first verse, the lyrics point to the sense that Earth’s time—and ours—is running out. Environmental destruction and global warming are accelerating, and it’s visible all around us. The repeated line about the clock “winding down” emphasizes a downward spiral we may be in if we don’t act.
In the break, the question “Is it time to punch out?” represents the temptation to give up or ignore the crisis. But the speaker resists that idea, declaring that there’s still time to act and that the fight isn’t over.
The chorus plays with the double meaning of the word “rock”—referring both to the Earth and to rock music. “Has your clock been rocked?” suggests both a sense of urgency (tick tock) and the idea that our world has been hit hard by human actions. The line “sound will unlock your clock” suggests that awareness, or perhaps a literal call to action through sound (music, alarms, voices), can shake people awake. “Long live rock” is a tribute not only to rock music but also to the resilience of Earth itself.
In the bridge, Earth is portrayed as a conscious being. The line “Hear the knock” implies that the planet is trying to get our attention—through wildfires, floods, and other signs of distress. “Open the door and love some more” is a call to let empathy, care, and action back into our lives before it’s too late.
The third chorus shifts into a more hopeful tone. Rather than winding down, the clock is now “wound tight”—we are recharged and more focused. With “new insight” and clarity, we continue the fight to protect the planet.
Finally, the outro reaffirms the Earth’s call and the need for a heartfelt response. Earth is knocking; we must listen and respond with love, action, and responsibility.
In summary, “Clocked” is a creative and urgent message about Earth’s living presence, the time we have left, and the need to act decisively and lovingly to preserve our future.
