Story Behind The Song
I was at work when I realized it was a total waste of time. My job sucked and my boss came up behind me and started to yell at me, so I socked him in the eye (not w/o consequences). Anyway a few days later I got really drunk and I fell asleep with the gas stove on and I almost died. I ended up writing this song about these events after they transpired.

Lyrics
Time-O-Cide
© 1998 James McMillan
VERSE 1
Today the pressure went away
I lost my job but hey, I didn?t like it anyway
My boss called me inside and said I missed my deadline
I said I need some time, he said you?re somewhere out of line
And somewhere out of time
So I socked him in the eye
CHORUS
Fuck the time because time is not on my side
I commit time-o-cide, Fuck the time
Fuck the time, I defy
I will not pay the price, I will not pay the price
VERSE 2
Tonight the meter ran dry, I kicked the bucket, Jack
The trumpets call me back
The gates were opened wide and St. Peter smiled
I said, Man I?m still alive but he sucked ?em to the light
They succumb to the light, so I socked him in the eye
CHORUS
BRIDGE
This time thing, it keeps pushing and moving me on
To the day when I am ashes and dust in the ground
But I hang on
CHORUS
