The Slackers Lyrics


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 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
There's never enough to do what you must
There's never enough to do what you must
There's never enough to do what you
time, time, oh, oh, time, I say

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.

Oh, oh, time, I say
There's never enough to do what you must
There's never enough to do what you must
There's never enough to do what you
time, time, oh, oh, time, I say

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.
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.

one of the best ska bands there ever was. The Slackers + The Aggrolites, Hellcat has some great bands on their label.

Jim Ron

As a big ska fan from the 90's (that still listens to all those songs), it is great to find new bands. Found This song in Hardcore Henry and will precede to check out this band. Have also recently found Streetlight Manifesto and Mustard Plug.

Dudley Barker

This song makes my heart feel good.

I don't know what I'm doing, but I can't say I've ever heard a better ska band. Thank you Slackers for helping me stay sane in my teenage years when things could've easily turned sour.

currently going through the hardest period of my life, losing a friend to suicide seriously ill family member and break down of a relationship. Found this and i can smile and realise that dwelling on situations can result in me missing great opportunities
