Busy Doin' Nothin'
Ace Wilder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you know, don't even like the nine-to-five
I wish all, those lazy days were every day
And you know, wouldn't want it any other way
Although some might say, I throw life away
I just ain't got time to save
I might be insane, and I may complain
Don't believe no pain, no gain
I'm busy, busy, busy
Doin' nothin' at all
I'm stressing over nothing
Don't bother to call
I'm busy, busy, busy
Doin' nothin' at all
Don't bother to call
I'm doin' nothin' at all
Don't wanna work, work, work!
I wanna make money while I sleep!
Don't wanna work, work, work!
I wanna make money while I dream!
Don't wanna work, work, work!
I wanna make money while I sleep!
Don't wanna work, work, work!
I wanna make money while I dream!
I am, always almost there in five
And it's, always the night before deadlines
You know, don't bother calling before noon
Even when, you say "later" it's still too soon
Although some might say, I throw life away
I just ain't got time to save
I might be insane, and I may complain
Don't believe no pain, no gain
I'm busy, busy, busy
Doin' nothin' at all
I'm stressing over nothing
Don't bother to call
I'm busy, busy, busy
Doin' nothin' at all
Don't bother to call
I'm doin' nothin' at all
Don't wanna work, work, work!
I wanna make money while I sleep!
Don't wanna work, work, work!
I wanna make money while I dream!
Don't wanna work, work, work!
I wanna make money while I sleep!
Don't wanna work, work, work!
I wanna make money while I dream!
You may, not approve of my lifestyle
And while, you working I'll be living life
So you, can call me lazy if you like
Don't care, this is the story of my life
I'm busy, busy, busy
Doin' nothin' at all
I'm stressing over nothing
Don't bother to call
I'm busy, busy, busy
Doin' nothin' at all
Don't bother to call
I'm doin' nothin' at all
Don't wanna work, work, work!
I wanna make money while I sleep!
Don't wanna work, work, work!
I wanna make money while I dream!
Don't wanna work, work, work!
I wanna make money while I sleep!
Don't wanna work, work, work!
Don't wanna work!
Ace Wilder's song 'Busy Doin' Nothin'' appears to be all about celebrating the art of procrastination and enjoying a relatively carefree lifestyle. The song's narrator makes it clear from the outset that they're not the kind of person who's cut out for working overtime or sticking to a strict nine-to-five schedule - they much prefer taking it easy and enjoying those lazy days that we all crave but rarely get to experience. While some people might argue that they're throwing their life away by not grinding away at their job, the singer insists that they just don't have the time to save and would rather take things at their own pace.
Despite the title of the song suggesting that the singer is "busy doin' nothin'," it's clear that they're occupied with plenty of things - they're just not very productive or useful things! They're always almost on time but not quite, and they tend to stress about deadlines that are rapidly approaching without actually doing anything to prepare. However, they remain unapologetic about this - they'd much rather make money while they sleep or dream than work, work, work all day long.
Ultimately, the song seems to be a celebration of the freedom that comes with not feeling constantly driven to be productive all the time. In a society that often glorifies overworking and fatigue, it's refreshing to hear a song that's all about taking a more laid-back approach to life!

Sono lituano ma vivo in italia da ormai 12 anni se non piu xD non ricordo.. e segue l'eurovision dal 2006 quindi :D comunque penso che Sanna Nielsen sia piu adatta al concerto dell'Eurovision, non smetto piu di cantare la sua canzone, infatti è arrivata 3a, poteva anche vincere per la voce che aveva, ma c'era Conchita che ha dato una scossa a tutta l'europa

Bruna Brodo ti provocano, ti dicono choosy, fannulloni, mammoni, bamboccioni ecc. in realtà non pagano e non ti danno alcuna possibilità per farti una vita decente. Se lavori sei sfruttato sottopagato umiliato e trasformato in un essere disumano verso gli altri per competere, per avere un lavoro che non ti arricchisce in niente come gli stage per fare gli scaffalisti nei supermercati.
Allora o esci e smetti di sostenere il gioco che ti vuole carne da macello e si sostiene con il tuo lavoro e la tua attenzione o aggredisci direttamente industriali finanzieri e politici cha hanno voluto e determinato questa situazione schiavista e mercante di diritti umani con un uso massiccio del marketing e di espedienti finanziari e culturali imponendo modelli sbagliati e ricatti morali.
