Lyrics
Get up you lazy slob, the day is almost gone
Encouragement to start the day, indicating time is running out.
You've lost another one the hours ramble on
Reference to wasted time, hours passing without achievement.
And this song won't write itself , don't imagine tat it will
Emphasizes the need for proactive action in songwriting.
What you have to offer is standing still
Critique of stagnation, lack of progress or contribution.
And he's wasting all of his life
Portrays an individual wasting their life.
On routines that lead to nowhere(3x)
Highlighting the futility of unproductive routines.
Get up you lazy slob, the sun is almost gone
Similar to line 1, urging action before day's end.
As your shadows cast you down, you wished that I was wrong
Feeling weighed down as time passes, expressing doubt.
There will be another chance don't let this slide on by
Encouraging to seize opportunities instead of letting them pass.
You can't prove them wrong unless you try
Assertion that one can't disprove criticism without making an effort.
And he's wasting all of his life
Reiteration of a life being wasted through inaction.
On routines that lead to nowhere(3x)
Reinforcement of the theme of unproductive routines.
Yeah...
An interjection expressing emphasis or agreement.
And he's wasting all of his life
Reiteration of the individual wasting their life on futile routines.
On routines that lead to nowhere(2)
Continuation of the criticism of unproductive habits.
I don't want to waste my life (4x)
Expressing a desire to avoid wasting life through repetition.
