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!
