No More Wasted Time

Once upon a grad school Beth met Oren and he said My dear, you're kind, you're pretty with a brain inside your head I've got work out West, will you come with me, if we're wed? So off Beth went to Phoenix Full of champagne, cake, and dread Twelve years on, her hope had all but died So she checked the wreck around her And with a big deep breath, Beth cried No more wasted time No more standing still I once would dream of building cities And now I think I will She said, I'm done with life out West And Oren, well, we did our best But I can't wait No more wasted time It's much too late No more wasted time No more time for doubt You say you're not sure you're a hero? It's time you should find out So say you've made a few mistakes Heroes know that's what it takes To find their way No more wasted time Not one more day We've got no time for playing nice There's only time for strong We've got no need for good advice We've listened far too long It's gone too wrong No more wasted time No more holding back No bowing low and asking nicely We need a new attack We're gonna run the whole damn place But with some class, and with some grace And we'll do fine No more wasted time It's on the line You've got no time for playing nice I've got no time for playing nice There's only time for strong I know I'm strong And we don't need to tell you twice You've waited for this long (I hope I) You won't go wrong (Won't go wrong) No more wasted time No more wasted breath No hoping life will just get better We've hoped it half to death (hoped it half to death) No playing for the perfect card 'Cause life is short and life is hard So I don't care how But no more wasted time No more wasted time No more wasted time No more wasted time No more wasted time Starting now! Now! Now!
