The Band of Heathens
I Got the Time
[Verse 1]
2020, quaran-time, land of the free
Ain't nobody going nowhere, nothing here to see
How long am I expected to stare at these four walls?
The voices in my head are screaming down the hall
Telling me to find a place where I can go and play
I'm all freed up, but I can't get away
[Chorus]
I got time, but I ain't got the money
It's not unusual, it's a hell of a thing
And I heard the line that the truth can be funny
I got the time, but I ain't got the money
[Verse 2]
I'm online to chat, I find a place to escape
But it's spring break in Ibiza and summer's on The Cape
Wine and dine sixty-nine, champagne and caviar
Members of a different club, the billionaires, and stars
How can a blue collar, low-dollar, poor boy like me
Find a seat at the table in another galaxy?
[Chorus]
I got time, but I ain't got the money
It's not unusual, it's a hell of a thing
I heard the line that the truth can be funny
See, I got the time, but I ain't got the money
[Post-Chorus]
I got the time, but I ain't got the money
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Play my numbers, sit and wonder how to strike it rich
Fantasy's my mistress, reality's a bitch
That calls up to invite me to vacation with my friends
But I don't wanna hear it, I know how this story ends
I'm all freed up but I can't get away
All freed up but I can't get away
All freed up but I can't get away
[Chorus]
I got time, but I ain't got the money
It's not unusual, it's a hell of a thing, thing, thing
And I heard the line that the truth can be funny, ha
See, I got the time, but I ain't got the money
[Outro]
I got the time, oh, but I ain't got the money
I got the time, no, I ain't got the money
I got the time, but I ain't got the money
I got the time, but I ain't got the money
