Lyrics

Well it's a man-eater
It's a real good friend of mine
Procrastination, the art of wasting precious time
And it can stop your thinking
And it can take your soul
But you can motivate 
You can take control

Oh, who are we?
Don't waste your life staring at your feet

Sweating for your money
Just to stash it away
It's not where you're heading, man
It's what happens on the way
It takes a lot of effort
To dig yourself a hole
You gotta love your work
Or it'll take your soul

Oh, who are we?
Don't waste your life burrowing too deep
What, can't you see?
Don't waste your life staring at your feet

Well it can stop your thinking
It can take your soul
It takes a lot of work to dig yourself a hole
Let's go

Who are we?
Don't waste your life burrowing too deep
What, can't you see?
Don't waste your life staring at your feet
Don't waste your life burrowing too deep
Don't waste your life staring at your feet
Don't waste your life 
Don't waste your life 
Don't waste your life 
Don't waste your life
