Sitting on the couch watching time slip away
reach for your lighter to burn another way
the clock runs fast while you run slow
nothing worth doing and nowhere to go

don't blame it on the herb
you get what you deserve
there are people all around that it has served
I know how you feel
I have been there before
But now it's up to you I can't do any more

I can't wait for you another day
your attitude has got to change
what else do you expect me to say
get off your ass or I'm on my way

Maybe life is pointless and full of pain
but slowly dragging through it drives me insane
I know we were close and I will miss you
but I can't wait around there's so much I want to do

don't blame it on the herb
you get what you deserve
there are people all around that it has served
what can I do when you ask me for help?
I have tried everything but you do it for yourself

I know you just want to dull the pain
but life goes fast and you stalled in the slow lane
you know you're lagging and it's time to shift
gears
and blow this rut you have been stuck in for years

now it's time, it's time for a change
