## Lyrics

```
[Verse 1]
Daddy sold his daylight
For a little piece of land
Mama spent the evening
With a paperback in hand
Everybody's buying something
Every hour that we're awake
Some are building something lasting
Some are taking what they take
[Pre-Chorus]
You can stack your silver higher
You can put it in a vault
But the minute that just left you
Ain't coming when you call
[Chorus]
Time is the money
Time is the money
You don't ever earn again
Spend some making something
Spend some laughing with your friends
Spend some doing nothing
If doing nothing serves you well
Every day you're buying something
So spend it well
[Verse 2]
Now the machines are getting faster
They can work while we're asleep
Build a thousand little wonders
While we're scrolling six feet deep
We keep saying "someday later"
Like tomorrow owes a debt
But the future keeps on coming
And it hasn't paid us yet
[Pre-Chorus]
You can automate the labor
You can make the engines hum
But nobody's found a machine yet
That can give you back what's gone
[Chorus]
Time is the money
You don't ever earn again
Spend some making something
Spend some loving where you've been
Spend some watching daylight
Disappear beyond the hill
You don't have to make a fortune
Just spend it well
[Bridge]
Rest ain't wasted
Work ain't holy
Motion doesn't mean you're free
Build what matters
Leave some empty
Room for who you want to be
And when the new world comes a-running
With a thousand ways to save
Every second that it gives us
Is another one to spend
[Verse 3]
Maybe someday we'll have helpers
That can carry half the load
Maybe no one has to measure
Every life by what it sold
Then the question gets much harder
When necessity is gone:
What deserves your Tuesday morning?
What deserves your whole life long?
[Final Chorus]
Time is the money
You don't ever earn again
Spend some making something
Spend some lying in the wind
Spend it on your people
Spend it on a tale worth telling
You were rich the day they gave it
If you spent it well
[Outro]
The clock don't care
The clock don't sell
You got your share
Spend it well.
