Waste of Time Lyrics


Auh, goI've got a question
For all you sinners
Have you ever wondered
Is this all there is to life?
A quick adventure
Not much to mention
A slow procession
Leading us to die
Is there a Heaven?
A distant valley
A golden meadow
Waiting for us in the sky
No one right answer
Spirit seems broken
Still I just can't help but wonder whySeems like a tragic waste of time
Who cares what happens when you die
Life's too short to wonder why
Get on with your lifeIn towering churches

And holy temples
They all conspired
To tell me how to live my life
But no religion
Or new theism
Could ever provide
Proof to quench my mind
And now I wonder
Whose sky I'm under
Is there a Heaven
Waiting for me when I die?
No one right answers
Spirit seems broken
Still I just can't help but wonder whySeems like a tragic waste of time
Who cares what happens when you die
Life's too short to wonder why
Get on with your lifeSo many questions
I can't tell the difference
Too many abstract thoughts
Now wrestle in my mind
But through darkness
Somewhere should be waiting
A final truth to shower me with light
Their pearls of wisdom
And tales of glory
They fed me nicely
Until I found it was all a lie
No one right answers
Spirit seems broken
Still I just can't help but wonder whySeems like a tragic waste of time
Who cares what happens when you die
Life's too short to wonder why
Get on with your life
Your life

Pennywise was formed in 1988 in Hermosa Beach, California by four members Jim Lindberg (vocals), Fletcher Dragge (guitar), Byron McMackin (drums) and Jason Thirsk (bass). They released two EPs: A Word from the Wise (1989) and Wildcard (1989). Each of the band members had played in other bands in the Hermosa Beach, California area and attended the same high school.

The group signed to Epitaph Records in 1990 and released their first album Pennywise (1991). The album quickly spread throughout the punk community, earning the band some nation-wide recognition. Lyrics in the album endorsed a positive mental attitude, helping promote progressive ideals for Generation X. Lindberg left the band soon after the debut record. Bass player Randy Bradbury joined the lineup as Thirsk took over lead vocal duties. In 1992, The Vandals lead singer Dave Quackenbush took over on vocals for a brief stint. Bradbury left the band and Thirsk returned to bass.

Lindberg got married and returned to the group in 1992 in time for their second album Unknown Road (1993), an underground hit that established the band as a force in punk music. By 1995, punk bands The Offspring and Rancid hit the mainstream and Pennywise refused invitations to join several major labels. About Time (1995) was another indie hit.

In 1996, Pennywise began recording their fourth album. Thirsk left the band in an attempt to conquer alcoholism. He was successful but relapsed and died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest on July 29, 1996.

Following Thirsk's death, Bradbury rejoined the band and recorded their next two albums, Full Circle (1997) and Straight Ahead (1999). This was followed by a live album, Live at the Key Club (2000), as well as Land of the Free? (2001) and From the Ashes (2003).

Home Movies, the band's only video, was re-released on DVD for the first time in 2004. The video was originally released in 1995 and had been out of print since 1997. More footage of Pennywise can be seen on 45 Revolutions: A Slice of XVI St. Life, XVI St. being the place where Jason and Fletcher hung out in Hermosa Beach.

The band's eighth album, The Fuse, was released in Europe on June 27 and in North America on August 9, 2005. The band's Australian tour was cancelled leading to breakup rumors, which Lindberg denied. Also that year, digitally-remastered versions of the first four studio albums were released.

Pennywise recently recorded a cover of Sick of It All's "My Life" for the band's tribute album Our Impact Will Be Felt.

The band returned to the studio in 2007 to begin work on their ninth album, Reason to Believe, which was released on March 25, 2008. In addition the album would be for sale in stores through MySpace Records in the United States and Epitaph in Europe.


After 19 years with Pennywise, Jim Lindberg has decided to step down as lead singer.
The new singer is Zoli Téglás (hungarian), the front man of hardcore band Ignite.
