What is time in your life they say to be your?
What is time in your life they say to have fun?

Whoa, I say
There's never enoug time
to do what you must
There's never enough, no
to do what you must, so

I can say that I don't know what I'm doing but I can say I have the time, yeah.
I can say that I don't know what I'm doing but I can say I have the time, yeah.

What is time in your life they say to be real?
What is time in your life to do what you feel?

Oh, oh, time, I say

Declan Conroy

When I lived in Berkeley I saw them play and this guy I lived with called "Ska Boy" told Vic we had a party going. Unfortunately by the time he got there it was dead and he was sitting on our cigarette burned couch with a gorgeous girl looking very confused. That's my slackers story
