Narakan Anthem Day!

Yeah, I'm sitting on this barstool talking like a damn fool Got the twelve o'clock news blues
And I've given up hope for the afternoon soaps
And a bottle of cold brew
Is it any wonder I'm not crazy?
Is it any wonder I'm sane at all?


Well, I'm so tired of losing

I got nothin to do and all day to do it
Well, I go out cruisin'

But I've no place to go and all night to get there
Is it any wonder I'm not a criminal?
Is it any wonder I'm not in jail?
Is it any wonder I've got


Too much time on my hands
It's ticking away with my sanity
I've got too much time on my hands
It's hard to believe such a calamity
I've got too much time on my hands
And it's ticking away, ticking away from me
Too much time on my hands
(it's tick tick tick tick tickin away)
Too much time on my hands
(Now I don't know what to do, I say)
Too much time on my hands
Too much time on my hands, Too much time on my hands,
Too much time on my hands

Now, I'm a jet-fuel genius
I can solve the world's problems without even tryin'
I have dozens of friends and the fun never ends
That is, as long as I'm buyin'
Is it any wonder I'm not the president?
Is it any wonder I'm null and void?
Is it any wonder I've got

Too much time on my hands
It's ticking away with my sanity
I've got too much time on my hands
It's hard to believe such a calamity
I've got too much time on my hands
And it's ticking away, ticking away from me
Too much time on my hands
(Tick tick tick tick tickin' away)
Too much time on my hands
(And I don't know what to do with myself)
Too much time on my hands
Too much time on my hands (tick tick tickin' away)
Too much time on my hands
Too much time on my hands
Too much time on my hands
Too much time on my.


That was, of course, "Too Much Time on My Hands" by Styx. It was chosen as the National Anthem of the Kingdom of Naraka back in college (by vote of the nobility), when it did seem like I had all the time in the world. I don't have enough time nowadays. Bummer.
