People waste time, gotta make time      They ain't got no place to go, C'mon now   I try to make time in my own life   But you're moving way too slow to catch up now      And when it comes down to opinion exactly where I stand   And if it comes down to religion I worship my old man   So c'mon now, it's alright      People waste time, gotta make time, Lord   People waste time, gotta make time, Lord   'Cos when I hit the groove I get the feeling   I stand up and show I'm self believing   Lord, Lord      Your trying to swallow up all your dad's pills   But they won't set you free it's a let down   And I'm the only man here can do that dear   Come see and you'll believe it's alright      You see a man's gotta know his limitations   you take it just so far   And if it comes down to the nation   I'll be your superstar   So c'mon now, it's alright      People waste time, gotta make time, Lord   People waste time, gotta make time, Lord   'Cos when I hit the groove I get the feeling   I stand up and I show I'm self-believing   Lord, Lord   Lord, Lord   People waste time
