Sassafras Roots Lyrics
Wasting your time
No obligation just
Wasting your time
So why are you alone ?
Wasting your time
When you could be with me
Wasting your time
With nothing else to do
May I waste your time too ?
Wasting your time
Smoking cigarettes
Wasting your time
I'm just a parasite
Wasting your time
Applying myself to
Wasting your time
Everybody prefers wasting time with a good friend than alone... is like no matter what you are doing you are always better with that person.

It's just a great love song.
I remember reading somwhere that Billie Joe wrote this about a girl he used to date before he met Adrienne - some girl who went off to join the Peace Corps or something. Can anybody verify?
Yes, it's the same girl who he wrote "She" about. She left him to go to Ecuador for the Peace Corps and wrote him a feminist poem also entitled "She" when she broke up with him. The song "Chump" is written about the guy she left him for.

I think this song means that someone is alone and they want to like be with you and waste time with you becuz since they already are its better if its with you.
As sad as it may sound, this song describes me completely. All in all, I just don't like wasting time by myself. I'd rather waste time with someone else.
I feel this way completely... I'd rather be with my gf and not do anything then to not be with her at all... :)
this song totally fits my and my friends lives. all we do is waste our time.. it just depends on who we're wasting it with. we basically get together and do the same stuff thatwe wouldbedoing by ourselves.. its sorta gay but it beats being alone somtimes. this songs awesome.. i absolutely love green day..
this really is me too, i would rather waste time with my gf then be alone and waste time, its just sorta a way how ppl r
Definitely one of my favourite Green Day songs. I agree with what you all said. Just hanging around with your friends, wasting time...
