You said the trouble with time
It only runs in one direction
You had a car like that
It'd never pass inspection
And that's the trouble with time
That is the trouble with time
You can take it
You can make it
But you're never gonna shake it
That's the trouble with time

It'll steal your looks
It'll tater your clothes
Leaving you lying there in your sweet repulse
And that's the trouble with time
That's the trouble with time
You can take it
You can make it
But you're never gonna shake it
That's the trouble with time

Well, I went to the doctor to see what she can do
She said, I'm sorry son, but it ain't just you
We're all in this river
We're all in the flow
And the only way out is with a tag on your toe
Where there sharks in the water
And the damned gop
One or the other
Gonna be the death of me
It's just a matter of time
That's the trouble with time
You can take it
You can make it
But you're never gonna shake it
That's the trouble with time

Well, I went to the graveyard to pay my respects
I saw a man digging holes saying, I wonder who's next
And that's the trouble with time
That's the trouble with time
You can take it
You can make it
But you're never gonna shake it
That's the trouble with time

Well, I went to the hoodoo man to ask his advice
He said, you ain't james bond and you don't live twice
You may be a rich man
You may be a king
But when your time comes it won't mean a thing
Not a thing

And bobby said, time is a jet plane, it moves so fast
I said, time ain't nothing but a pain in my ass
And that's the trouble with time
That's the trouble with time
You can take it
You can make it
But you're never gonna shake it
That's the trouble with time

You can use it
You can lose it
But you never get to choose it
That's the trouble with time
You can raise it
You can chase it
But you're gonna have to face it
And that's the trouble with time
That's the trouble with time
That's the trouble with time
That is the trouble with time
