no rest for the weary

Singer: hanson

i don't need to make sense

i don't try to rhyme

'cause i've paid my dues

yeah

i've done my time

i might eat my hat

i might lose my case

but i won't hide my words

behind a poker face

you know that

there's no rest

for the weary

brother don't waste my time

'cause i've already made up my mind

there's no rest

for the weary

yesterday was just fine

but the future's all i've got time for

got time for

i'm a wide-eyed fool

for the first temptation

i'll give up guarantees

find a good vibration

i'm a rich blasphemer

and a poor man's saint

'cause my feet can't move

to where my heart just ain't

you know that

there's no rest

for the weary

brother don't waste my time

'cause i've already made up my mind

oh yeah!

there's no rest

for the weary

yesterday was just fine

but the future's all i've got time for

yeah!

i don't hold my liquor

i don't share my business

don't like to ask permission

i'd rather give forgiveness

'cause i take my cue

from a condemned man

so i break their rules

whenever i can

ah. singing. ah. yesterday was just fine

but the future's all i've got time for

yesterday was just fine

but the future's all i've got time for

i know i'm living

when i feel the strain

on the back of my neck

on the front of my brain

and i can't resist

when i hear proclaimed

that it can't be done

boy that'll never be changed

you know that

there's no rest

for the weary

brother don't waste my time

'cause future's all i've got time for

there's no rest

for the weary

yesterday was just fine

but i've already made up my mind

yesterday was just fine

but the future's all i've got time for

no rest

for the weary

brother don't waste my time

i've already made up my mind

there's no rest

for the weary

yesterday was just fine

but the future's all i've got time for

no rest

for the weary

brother don't waste my time

i've already made up my mind

there's no rest

for the weary

yesterday was just fine

but the future's all i've got time for
