It's just another day and it feels like you're still running late 'Cause the times are gonna change and you're stuck in your old mentality You can try to lead us on but there's no one else to blame Won't be left to clean the mess when you're gone We're running out of time We're running out of time and you just don't get it Now you're watching people die and you still don't care We're running out of time and you just don't get that this is how I feel There's a million things I hate about you It's just another battle when you exercise your authority When the dust is finally settled will you catch up with reality? We've been waiting way too long, now it's time for us to play And we won't be looking back when you're gone We're running out of time We're running out of time and you just don't get it Now you're watching people die and you still don't care We're running out of time and you just don't get that this is how I feel There's a million things I hate about you, about you, about you, about you I don't wanna hear the same excuses I don't wanna hear the same excuses I don't wanna hear your story We're running out of time and you just don't get it You're watching people die and you still don't care We're running out of time and you just don't get it If everybody dies, well you still don't care We're running out of time and you just don't get it Now you're watching people die and you still don't care We're running out of time and you don't get that this is how I feel I don't wanna think about, this is how I feel There's a million things I hate about you There's a million things I hate about you

    General Comment:Maybe stupid, but parents?
    "Watching people die". Your kids, and dying in the meaning of figuratively, suffocating them, not giving them a chance to live the life the way THEY want to... And not according to traditions (old mentality)wile nog getting the new ideas. Not understanding and even more important, not willing to understand.
    Fighting with the white flag, saying you care and you love, but refusing to listen. And when the teenager gets mad, the parent will say that it's his/her fault and that they didn't want a fight in the first place. Like it usually goes.
    Written in the anger of a teenage kid towards his/her parents, I can totally relate!!!

    General Comment:I think it is an anti-bush song.\

    "the times are gonna change"
    refers to the fact that his term is about to be over

    "We'll be left to clean the mess
    When you're gone"

    Bush started wars and screwed many things up so after he leave, we have to clear up what he has done.

    "Running out of time
    And you just don't get it
    Now you're watching people die
    And you still don't care"

    Bush started two wars during his term, and obviously people are going to die.But i doubt he give a damn about those soldiers

    General Comment:This song is very catchy, but I like to believe it's not an anti-Bush song. Because I'm a Bush supporter. And if it was, I'd probably get sad and lose some respect for Simple Plan, which I don't want to do because I love them so.

    But this song is very very catchy. It reminds me of their first cd.

    General Comment:Definitely sounds like political figures, they'll send in other people to kill others, but will never get personal and send in someone they love or whatever, therefore they don't care a lot about what happens, and who dies.

    (It's just another battle
    When you exercise your authority
    When the dust is finally settled
    Will you catch up with reality?)

    also most of the song "Running out of time, you're watching people die and you still don't care, etc.)

    Also

    But there's no one else to blame
    We'll be left to clean the mess
    When you're gone
    (Running out of time)

    About when they leave the office/someone else gets elected we're still stuck with their mess.

    Could be an anti-Bush song, however it fits just about any Political figure from any country you can name.
