Time Poor Songtext
von The Basics

Time poor
Time poor
Time poor
Time poor
They keep us busy with tithes and taxes
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
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
Time poor
Time poor
We′re time poor
That's our burden


Time poor
It′s a Western way
But poor time
It gets blamed for everything
Cause down here is it too late?
They give us news that's made for children
And racist crap from Andrew Bolt
When they said to 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?
Their favourite saying is ′for the country'
Their favourite is 'creating jobs′
Their favourite word is ′Unaustralian'
Their favourite time is on the clock
We′re time poor
That's our burden
Time poor
It′s a Western way
But poor time
It gets blamed for everything
Cause down here is it too late?
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
What about climate change? It′s gonna kill us all
I haven′t got time for that
You aren't worried 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!
Time poor
We′re time poor
Time poor
Time poor
Time poor
We're time poor
Time poor
