Stop Wastin' Time

Surfin' on the T.V
Caught a black and white
Fresh faces from long ago
In the box of light
Every life a footnote
Now just a memory
Passin' time as a re-run
Condemned to history

One blink and you've missed it
Dust is all you'll find
Life's gone in a heartbeat man
The tape can't rewind
Don't piss it up against the wall
What a bloody crime
Just put it all out there
And stop wastin' time

Dusted off some old music
A rocker in their prime
Killer hooks and a backbeat
Dead by 29
A generations soundtrack
Residin' in a crate
How many songs in a lifetime?
The cruel hand of fate

One blink and you've missed it
Dust is all you'll find
Life's gone in a heartbeat man
The tape can't rewind
Don't piss it up against the wall
What a bloody crime
Just put it all out there
And stop wastin' time

Got a photo album
There on the second page
Stood a bomber pilot
Confronting blinding rage
Tales of love, tales of war
A story for the ages
Life done in a thousand shots
Just fillin' 90 pages

Got a photo album
There on the second page
Stood a bomber pilot
Confronting blinding rage
Tales of love, tales of war
A story for the ages
Life done in a thousand shots
Just fillin' 90 pages

One blink and you've missed it
Dust is all you'll find
Life's gone in a heartbeat man
The tape can't rewind
Don't piss it up against the wall
What a bloody crime
Just put it all out there
And stop wastin' time
