when you're just tired of It
when ya' keep gettin' Hit
with all of Life's Shit
when you've lost all your Wit
when ya' just wanna' Spit
just Sit
when there's nuthin' ta' Gain'
take a Timely Refrain

a Timely Pause
a pause for The Cause
because
tho Life has it's Jaws
and Life has it's Claws
there's always that Clause
that says ya' don't have ta' Paws
nor be Slain
to Remain
when there's nuthin' ta' gain
just take a Timely Refrain

when you're goin' too slow
and ya' don't seem to know
when you're goin' toe ta' toe
and still you don't grow
don't be vain
when there's nuthin' ta' gain
try a timely refrain

take a time out
don't jump & shout
don't pout
that's not what it's all about
that'll just be your bane
when there's nuthin' ta' gain
take a timely refrain

when all ya' feels is Pain
when the pain won't Wain
when you're goin' Insane
forget where you've Lain
and in The Main
when there's nuthin' ta' Gain
there's always a Timely Refrain
