The fourth track from Generation Why, a groovy Rock & Roll EP made by a group of friends in a little city. Recorded in the summer and released in the winter, Generation Why was a true labor of love. Hop on this sonic roller coaster through the emotional ether of the new working class generation.
lyrics
Fishing in a wishing well
I’ve got time to kill
Writing lyrics all day long.
Sitting on a window sill
I’ve got time to kill
Just to play back all our songs
And it’s not that bad
All the fun I had
Trying to lift up off the ground
At the speed of sound!
Oh yeah!
Hoo hoo!
Oh yeah!
I’ve got time to kill!
Flingin’ hundred dollar bills
I’ve got time to kill
Cause nobody gets along
Fifty clicks or standing still
I’ve got time to kill
‘Case nobody gets it wrong
And it’s not that bad
All the fun I had
Trying to lift up off the ground
At the speed of sound!
Oh yeah!
Hoo hoo!
Oh yeah!
Playing on an empty stage
I’ve got time to waste
When nobody comes around
And it’s not that bad!
All the fun I had!
Trying to lift up off the ground
At the speed of sound!
Oh yeah!
Hoo hoo!
Oh yeah!
And I love killing the time! Oh yeah! (x4)
