Unnecessary Songtext
von Timothy Morris

When am I, when am I gonna stop spending my money on unnecessary
When am I, when am I gonna stop spending my
Time worrying about what′s to come
When am I, when am I gonna stop selling my soul
When am I, when am I gonna stop spending my
When am I, when am I gonna stop spending my

You think you've got a surefire plan for change
You think you′ve got a guaranteed play of the game
You think you've got the world's greatest campaign
You know you ain′t gonna crack till you crack the champagne
There′s nothing you can do that will change the world's ways
There′s nothing you can change that will change what they say
Over-entertained and falsely diagnosed with responsibility
I've seen the bottles in the ocean
And I′ve seen the world burn down
And I cried
And then I laughed cause


When am I, when am I gonna stop spending my money on unnecessary
When am I, when am I gonna stop spending my
Time worrying about what's to come
When am I, when am I gonna stop selling my soul
When am I, when am I gonna stop spending my
When am I, when am I gonna stop spending my

I′ve been a revolutionary
And I've seen the Virgin Mary
I've been running for cover
All my life
I′ve done enough open mics to know
That I′m not the only one that's singing this song
I′ve done enough days in this world to know
That I'm not the only one that′s taking so long

I've seen the fires on the water
And I′ve seen the world burn bright
And I smiled
And then I cried cause


When am I, when am I gonna stop spending my money on unnecessary
When am I, when am I gonna stop spending my
Time worrying about what's to come
When am I, when am I gonna stop selling my soul
When am I, when am I gonna stop spending my
When am I, when am I gonna stop spending my
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah

Time keeps rolling on
Time keeps rolling on
Time keeps rolling on
(I've been a revolutionary
And I′ve seen the Virgin Mary
I′ve been running for cover
All my life)
Time keeps rolling on
(I've been a revolutionary
And I′ve seen the Virgin Mary
I've been running for cover
All my life)

(Time keeps rolling on)
When am I, when am I gonna stop spending my money on unnecessary
When am I, when am I gonna stop spending my
Time worrying about what′s to come
(Time keeps rolling on)
When am I, when am I gonna stop selling my soul
When am I, when am I gonna stop spending my
When am I, when am I gonna stop spending my
(Why does time keep rolling on?)
When am I, when am I gonna stop spending my money on unnecessary
When am I, when am I gonna stop spending my
Time worrying about what's to come
(Time keeps rolling on)
When am I, when am I gonna stop selling my soul
When am I, when am I gonna stop spending my
When am I, when am I gonna stop spending my
