Story Behind The Song
Just because we can, doesn't mean we have to. People deserve a few extra seconds to convey their point, maybe we can learn to enjoy that before we decide to get bored. It's an anti- "more, better, now" song.
Song Description
It's been said a song must be "3:05 to stay alive" in terms of writing popular music. That irritated me enough to write one that was just that.

Lyrics and music by T.J. Neveldine © 2005
I won?t waste precious time,
I make my point right away
See, I can?t take your looks so snide
Glare with so much haste
I won?t take long, so try to follow
It?s movin? along now, is that good for you?
This might hurt though, maybe just a little
And it will hurt me, more than you so
Why should I care if you think
What I think is you don?t...you don't listen, anyway?does anyone?
No excuse for my crime
I?m killing time of yours away
It?s no one?s fault, it's just your loss
That we must go right away
It's going long, so don?t get lost ?cause
You might feel something, is that good for you?
Take it down 'cause there?s no need to swallow
But I might get stuck in a mind or two
So why should I care if you think
What I think is you don?t...you don't listen, anyway?does anyone?
I won?t waste precious time,
Make my point right away
See, I can?t take your looks so snide
Glare with so much hate
I won?t take long, so try to follow
It?s movin? along now, is that good for you?
It might hurt though, maybe just a little
And it will hurt me, much more than you so
Why should I care if you think
What I think is you don?t...you don't listen, anyway?but I do
