Story behind the song
I must have been feeling cynical that day...
Lyrics
See all them rich folk sittin' round... You know they're thinkin' they got it made, and if there's one thing in life I've found... You aint got nothin' without time in grade. Look at that man sippin' whiskey on his yacht... Ya know, I don't need a single thing he's got... No , I don't even want to give it a thought... I've got my time in grade All these Politicians, They say they got the cure... It's in the script, 'cause they've all been paid... You and I know, that's just so much manure... You can't be fooled, if you've got time 'n grade. Look at that man sippin' whiskey on his yacht... Ya know, I don't need a single thing he's got... No , I don't even want to give it a thought... I've got my time 'n grade Come on all you children , come gather round .. And don't you fret , don't you be afraid ... Don't let them know , don't you make a sound ... And before you know, you've got time in grade. Look at that man sippin' whiskey on his yacht... Ya know, I don't need a single thing he's got... No , I don't even want to give it a thought... I've got my time in grade time 'n grade

Fabulous live song. Great Guitar playing. Cool vocals and really superb song structure. Excellent production, as well. As for the title...I remember a Time In Grade School.This song made me remember an ex Amish guy I know who went to my school, I never understood why they left the Amish. I think Amish are awesome. Then, I had seen him in Jr. High and High School. His parents were great people. They used to make lovely crafts and stuff for the home. Brilliant recording.
