Need More Time Lyrics

All the kids in the basement with the stereo
Nobody on the street and everybody knows
That they're running out of time
That they're waiting on the line
And they're laughing at clothes
They're all hooked in and watching old videos
Smoking cigarettes and fingers going up their nose
And they're wasting all their time
Thinking everything is fine
Not caring what jim knows
I don't bother to ask why
When you're sitting home and crying
Oh ...
I don't care why (oh-ee-oh-ee-oh-ee-oh)
I need more time (oh-ee-oh-ee-oh-ee-oh)
I don't care why (oh-ee-oh-ee-oh-ee-oh)
I need more time (oh-ee-oh-ee-oh-ee-oh)

(Repeat)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Epoxies have done a brilliant job of reviving new wave by combining it with modern punk. This song, I believe is about politicians, doing nothing and ruling an unquestioning society...okay so I first heard it on Rock Against Bush and thats why I would associate it with them.
