Oh %#$@ look at the time!

Sigh. Just life in general....

Started my young life in chaos and some strife

lookin' to find some peace

listened to bad voices, made me some real bad choices

a long time runnin' from police

I know that some fine day in some ironic way

I'll have to pay for all that crime

until then do no harm and try to balance karma

Oh s**t look at the time

I found me a girl, a real prairie pearl

smile as wide as a country mile

She gave me a whirl. I gave her a twirl

but settlin' down just wasn't my style

I left her there in tears, haven't thought of her in years

She probably still thinks I'm just slime

I'd like to stop on by someday just to see if she's okay, but

Oh s**t look at the time

Workin' for my pay, i'm workin' every day

Sockin' a little bit of cash away

trying to get it higher, for the day that I retire

It's daylight so I'm makin' hay

But this "Freedom 105" is just a bunch of jive

I'll be well on past my prime

To really get enjoyment from my state of unemployment cause

Oh s**t look at the time

Now I'm sitting in my hovel, tryin' to write a novel

a short story or maybe a poem

Can't even do a fraction, to many damn distractions

so much for home sweet home

My head is full of vapour as I stare down at the paper

I Can't even pull up a rhyme

No words to beg or borrow, I'll start again tomorrow

Oh s**t look at the time

This is some of the best rhyme & rhythm, in a melodic way that lends itself to more than one music genre. Not only do you turn a great phrase, but also the message is interesting & fresh & surprising each time you repeat the title phrase. Overall, the verses feel like blocks of thinking time that get interrupted & then life gets in the way & one's inner flow ends up a bit jaggedy (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Always that excuse to rescue; Oh s**t look at the time !
If they find out how witty you are on WC, your status in the witless protection program isn't going to lasts too long.

If only we evolved ignorant of time, we would wander freely, doing as we please and living an easier life. Bit with tick came tock and we were screwed :)

No matter how many clocks you have, you never really know what time it is

2nd to last stanza... insert an "a" before novel. (even though it does work either way and it's probably more clever as it stands... it'll read better and still fit as "... a novel")

Thanks! Totally missed that! Trying to write between cleaning the kitchen and bathroom
