Why do it today, when I can do it tomorrow? I’ll just let my responsibilities grow until they rival Kilimanjaro I’m young and I’m free Life looms before me Vaster than any sea I have all the time in the world to become the person I want to be So with that attitude in mind I put off the daily grind The more I do this the more I’m confined Eventually I’ll fall much too far behind The trouble is, they say, you think you have time So you let it fly by, and put off finding something sublime While this goes on it seems all well and fine Until at the end You’re the victim of your own terrible crime

The Truth About Time
Why do it today, when I can do it tomorrow? I’ll just let my responsibilities grow until they rival Kilimanjaro I’m young and I’m free Life looms before me Vaster than any sea I have all the time in the world to become the person I want to be So with that attitude in mind I put off the daily grind The more I do this the more I’m confined Eventually I’ll fall much too far behind The trouble is, they say, you think you have time So you let it fly by, and put off finding something sublime While this goes on it seems all well and fine Until at the end You’re the victim of your own terrible crime
