Waste Of Time

Pennywise · About Time [1995]

I got a question, for all you sinners

Have you ever wondered is this all there is to life?

A quick adventure, not much to mention

A slow procession leading us to die!



Is there a heaven, a distant valley,

A golden meadow waiting for us in the sky?

No one right answer, spirit seems broken

Still I just can't help but wonder why?

Seems like a tragic waste of time,

Who cares what happens when you die?

Life's too short to wonder why,

Get on with your life



In towering churches, and holy temples

They all conspired to tell me how to live my life,

But no religion, or new theism

Could ever provide proof to quench my mind

And now I wonder, who's sky I'm under

Is there a heaven waiting for me when I die

No one right answer, spirit seems broken



Still I can't help but wonder why

Seems like a tragic waste of time

Who cares what happens when you die?

Life's too short to wonder why

Get on with your life



So many questions I can't tell the difference

Too many abstract thoughts now wrestle in my mind

Through the darkness somewhere should be waiting

A final truth to shower me with light

Their pearls of wisdom, and tales of glory

They feed me nicely until I found it was all a lie

No one right answer, spirit seems broken

And still I can't help but wonder why?



Seems like a tragic waste of time

Who cares what happens when you die?

Life's too short to wonder why

Get on with your life



Your life!
