Time, why you punish me?Like a wave crashing into the shoreYou wash away my dreams.
Time, why you walk away?Like a friend with somewhere to goYou left me crying.
Can you teach me ’bout tomorrowAnd all the pain and sorrow running free?‘Cause tomorrow’s just another dayAnd I don’t believe in time.
Time I don’t understandChildren killing in the street,Dying for the color of a rag.
Time, they’re red and blue.Wash them in the ocean, make them clean.Maybe their mothers won’t cry tonight.
Can you teach me about tomorrowAnd all the pain and sorrow running free?But tomorrow’s just another dayAnd I don’t believe in
Time is wasting, time is walking,You ain’t no friend of mine.I don’t know where I’m goin’,I think I’m out of my mindThinking about time.
And if I die tomorrowJust lay me down in sleep.
Time is wasting, time is walking,You ain’t no friend of mine.I don’t know where I’m goin’I think I’m out of my mindThinking about time
Time you left me standing thereLike a tree growing all aloneThe wind just stripped me bareStripped me bare
Time the past has come and gone.The future’s far awayAnd “now” only lasts for one second, one second
Can you teach me ’bout tomorrowAnd all the pain and sorrow, running free?‘Cause tomorrow’s just another dayAnd I don’t believe in time
You ain’t no friend of mineI don’t know where I’m goin’I think I’m out of my mind.
Walking, wastingYou ain’t no friend of mineAnd I don’t know where I’m goin’No don’t know
Time without courageAnd time without fearIs just wasted, wastedWasted time.
Time, why you punish me?
