(Time Poor)
(Time Poor)
(Time Poor)
(Time Poor)

[Verse 1]
They keep us busy with ties and taxes
They keep us dreaming of a life with the lot
We're far too busy with files and faxes
Chase that dream, we'll never stop

[Verse 2]
(I haven't got time for that)
See what I mean?
They tell us to find more time for family
But dock our pay for every one day off (oi!)
When we wanna do more for charity
They're quick to judge us if we're slacking off
(I haven't got time for that)

[Chorus]
(Time Poor)
(Time Poor)
(We're time poor)
That's our burden
(Time poor)
It's the western way
(But poor time)
Gets blamed for everything
(Down here)
Is it too late?
[Verse 3]
They give us news that's made for children
And racist crap from Andrew Bolt
When they said they'd stop the boats what they meant was hide them
We're far too busy to bother with that lot
(I haven't got time for that)
Time Poor
What!?
(It's a bit too loud I think my vocals ahh... fell out again)

[Bridge]
Their favourite saying is "for the country"
Their favourite book is "creating jobs"
Their favourite word is "unaustralian"
Their favourite time is on the clock

[Chorus]
(We're time poor)
That's our burden
(Time poor)
It's the western way
(But poor time)
Gets blamed for everything
Down here
Is it too late?
[Bridge 2]
(I haven't got time for that)
What about Indigenous rights then?
(I haven't got time for that)
Well surely you've got a heart for asylum seekers
(I haven't got time for that)
How about climate change? It's gonna kill us all
(I haven't got time for that)
You've read about patents on genetically modified foods then
(I haven't got time for that)
Well what about basic human fucking rights!?
(I haven't got time for that)
FUCK!

[Outro]
(Time poor)
We're time poor
(Time poor)
Time poor
(Time poor)
We're time poor
(time poor)
