"Got the Time" is Anthrax taking a Joe Jackson song, the closer from his 1979 debut Look Sharp!, and running it through the thrash grinder for their 1990 album Persistence of Time. The subject was already made for them: a life so hectic that new chores and obligations keep piling on before the last ones are done.
Joey Belladonna sings it, Scott Ian and Dan Spitz whip up the guitars, Frank Bello plays bass and Charlie Benante drives the drums. The band produced it with Mark Dodson, who also engineered, while Michael Barbiero and Steve Thompson mixed it, and Jon and Marsha Zazula held the executive producer credit.
