lyrics

you waste so much time when you sleep
do you ever think what you could be doing
with that time - with that time
with that time - with that time
do you ever think what you could be doing with that time

you waste so much time when you sleep
there are six to eight hours you could be using
of that time. of that time
of that time. of that time
do you ever think what you could be doing with that time

and maybe one day when you look back
at all the things that you could've done years ago
with that time, don't feel resigned
to submit or to toe the line
and keep on walking the circadian wheel of a short life

the world looks different in shades of groggy haze
when there's no difference of night and day
don't spare an inch for those who'll tell you hey, man - why you looking so wired?
these waking dreams are inspired
maybe you could've been someone if you weren't always tired
