Lyrics
Specialization is for Insects - Salem
By Joel Shaw
Written 1997

We stand and wave goodbye as they drive away
Then we keep on talking though there's nothing left to say

(Bridge)
"I wonder if it's going to rain."
I close my eyes and I pray for any kind of change

I head on home to catch the second game
Sunday afternoons just aren't the same

(Bridge)
I think about the yesteryear
It's hard to believe that it was ever here

(Chorus)
Time keeps passing
And I keep asking
"Where have all the good times gone?"
Pack my bags cause I'm tired of wasting my time

Every moment melts into the next
My life is reading like some old forgotten text
Someday, eventually
I'll sit on back and dwell upon this history

(Bridge)
I'd like to think what could have happened
Funny how things always end

Chorus

We're just in time to catch the matinee
You give a grin and mutter some tired over-used cliché

(Bridge)
If this is what it's all come to
Then I'm turning around and running out on you

Chorus

(Last Chorus)
Time keeps passing
And you're left asking
"Where have all the good times gone?"
Pack your bags cause it's time we stopped wasting our time
