lyrics

It's all right to waste a minute
It's fine to waste a day
Just send the seconds spinning on
Their swift unthinking way

It's fine to burn an hour
just to watch its ash go gray
The calendar compels us, yes
But we can disobey

So waste the whole allowance
that eternity now grants
But never waste
But never waste
But never waste a chance

It's all right to waste a weekend
The weekend won't complain
Time is born for wasting
Just like water's born for rain

Time is not that fragile
It's survived for all these years
And every time a moment dies
Another volunteers

So waste your fleeting lifetime
in a stupor, in a trance
But never waste
But never waste
But never waste a chance

Leave till later
stacks of papers
plans you meant to write
so what if that'll
lose the battle?
get some sleep tonight

It's all right to waste a minute
It's fine to waste a day
Just send the seconds spinning on
Their swift unthinking way

It's fine to burn an hour
just to watch its ash go gray
The calendar compels us, yes
But we can disobey

Let the deadlines shout their warnings
as the centuries advance
But never waste
But never waste
But never waste a chance

Leave till later
stacks of paper
plans you meant to write
Let your bosses
cut their losses
get some sleep tonight

So waste the whole allowance
that eternity now grants
But never waste
But never waste
But never waste a chance
