Sitting on this barstool talking like a damn fool
Got the twelve o'clock news blues
And I've given up hope on 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 nothing to do 
And all day to do it
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 from me
(Too much time on my hands)
(Too much time on my hands)
(Too much time on my hands)

Well, I'm a jet fuel genius
I solve all the world's problems
Without even trying
I have dozens of friends and the fun never ends
That is, as long as I'm buying

Is it any wonder I'm not the president
(He's 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 at 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 from me
(Too much time on my hands)
(Too much time on my hands)
(Too much time on my hands)
