This song is about being at a show and some annoying fuck is trying to talk to you about their cause or whatever they care about and it's raining and you just want to go inside and see the goddamn band playing but you just lit up a cigarette and it would look weird if you extinguished it right away to excuse yourself from this shitty annoying conversation.
Based on a true story.
lyrics
V1
Whether you stared at the clock
Or try to wind it back
Time moved without you
And the sky begins to crack.
You say you can't relate
And it's just not the same
I could never understand
All the things that cause you pain.
:Chorus:
Tick tick
We've got no time to talk.
Tick tick
Let's not stand here and gawk
You've already got your reasons
Out-lined in chalk
But I don't want to give in and just talk.
V2
You keep talking at me
Instead of talking with.
I don't care who you hate now
Stop talking shit.
The things that you believe in
Don't mean much to me.
I'd rather hear the bands
I came here to see.
V3
I've got no desire to argue
This isn't a debate.
Talk to me like an adult
And things will be great.
Your cause is important
But maybe just to you.
I won't carry your banner
Or whatever it is you do.
:Chorus:
Tick tick
We've got no time to talk.
Tick tick
Let's not stand here and gawk
You've already got your reasons
Out-lined in chalk
But I don't want to give in and just talk.

SKA! IS! NOT! DEAD! This album feels like the ultimate crash-course in third-wave ska, and is an absolute must-listen if you're a fan of the genre. James Tudhope
Been away for a while got some more memory so I'm back! What better way to celebrate than buying The Holophonics Discography. Fun Ska cover songs and some awesome original songs too! Rhokeheart
Knockout debut from a Buffalo, New York-based hardcore band who like their riffs sick, their drums fast, and their choruses sticky-sweet. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 28, 2024
