The Slackers' song "Have the Time" is a call to seize the day and enjoy life, even if we don't always know what we're doing. The lyrics suggest that time is a precious commodity that we should use to have fun and do what we feel is right. The repetition of the phrase "I can say that I don't know what I'm doing but I can say I have the time" emphasizes the importance of living in the moment and taking advantage of the time we have available to us.
In the chorus, the singer asks "what is time in your life they say to be real?" and "what is time in your life to do what you feel?" These are rhetorical questions that highlight the fact that time is subjective and means different things to different people. The lyrics suggest that we should each define our own relationship with time and use it in a way that feels authentic to us.
Overall, "Have the Time" is a song about seizing the moment and embracing life even if we don't always know what we're doing. It encourages listeners to make the most of the time they have and to use it in a way that feels true to themselves.

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.
Lankey Bastard
This song makes my heart feel good.
Toxic White Guy
