    Lyrics
    Labor Day is here again
    Another summer is gone
    Seems like Christmas was yesterday
    Feels like something's going wrong

    Nothing wrong with video games
    Though they make my head spin
    Just never thought I'd have to live like one
    Never thought moving slow was a sin

    CHORUS:

    Years spinning by like tires on ice
    Get some shovels and some sand
    We gotta get ourselves some traction here
    We gotta make some kind of stand
    I don't mind things moving on
    The hands of time got to turn
    But can't we just slow the damn things down
    Some lessons take a while to learn

    Round up all of the scientists
    Get Bill Gates and his whole crew
    Quit making everything so much faster, boys
    Just ease up and catch the view

    Can't you narrow the bandwidth now
    Go back to the old copper wire
    I'll give up streaming video
    To get back my old rope swing tire

    CHORUS

    I'll surrender my cell phone, boys
    I'll turn in my PC
    if only summers could be long again
    The way they used to be

    Labor Day is here again
    Another summer is done
    I hope you've done your Christmas shopping
    I hope you find time to have some fun
    Yeah, I hope you find time to have some fun
