Procrastinate

About this song

We finished this song after long procrastination on the first day of the Neurum Creek Music Festival with the help of a few reds at 2am in the morning.

This song addresses a very common issue, waiting to do something until the time is right. We are putting off action on a daily basis, hard or easy tasks alike. Don’t wait for your bucket list to flow over “Do it while you can, you’re a long time gone” as our friends the Humbuckin’ Pickups would sing.

If not us who? If not now, when? We are unsure who said this first but we go with JFKennedy.

 

Lyrics

When you can’t make up your mind
Procrastinate
All you gotta do is hang-in there
And wait
When something is too hard to do
Procrastinate
It’ll get easier by the hour
Just wait

Procedures at work have changed again
Third time this week
No one knows what’s going on
It’s a smoother ride that you seek

Change is the only constant thing
that you can bet upon
Chasing gold and diamond rings
Before you know your life is gone

When you can’t make up your mind
Procrastinate
All you gotta do is hang-in there
And wait
When something is too hard to do
Procrastinate
It’ll get easier by the hour
Just wait

The too hard basket is full to the brim
Of stuff from yesteryear
You worry about each step you take
The future is nowhere near

The wrong choice is your biggest fear
Much safer to stay where you are
This way you reduce the risk
But you won’t get very far
When you can’t make up your mind
Procrastinate
All you gotta do is hang-in there
And wait
When something is too hard to do
Procrastinate
It’ll get easier by the hour
Just wait
