I used to lay to rest in style
But then I couldn't recall
that made the day worthwhile
I used to daydream of the mornin'
And dream on through the day
Till I heard a wise man preachin'
An d these are the words he'd say
I ain't got time to kill in the mornin'
Ain't got time for killin' the day
I ain't got time to kill nobody
Lord, I need to get friends astray
I just got a little time in the mornin'
Just got a little time through the day
I just got enough time to live out my life,
I used to yearn for gold and riches
And a masterpiece for the wall
But the more I got, the more I craved
So it doesn't make sense at all
So I took out the book of wisdom
Which has never been so true
Was what was meant for me and you
I ain't got time to kill in the morning
I ain't got time to kill in the day
I ain't got time to kill nobody, Lord
Or lead a good friend astray
I just got a little time in the morning,
just got a little time through the day
I just got enough time to live out my life
as he sailed around the bend
He said all men will be dreamers
and all dreamers will be men
Of course I still dream every now and then
but when I do it don't take long
I just dream about a big round world
where everyone sings their song
I ain't got time to kill in the mornin'
Ain't got time to kill in the day
Ain't got time to kill nobody, Lord
Only to get friends astray
I just got a little time in the mornin'
Just got a little time through the day
I just got enough time to live out my life
