You used to be a partner in crime
|
Now you say you ain't got the time
|
|
Gotta get serious, gotta plan
|
Gotta pass those entrance exams
|
Oh my God
|
It's senior year
|
All you care about is your career
|
|
[Chorus]
|
It's a Life Sentence
|
It's a Life Sentence
|
It's a Life Sentence
|
It's a Life Sentence
|
|
You're squelching your emotions
|
All you talk about is old times
|
You don't do what you want to
|
But you do the same thing everyday
|
|
No sense of humor
|
But such good manners
|
Now you're an adult
|
You're boring
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
The walls are closing in
|
You stayed too long in school
|
I'd rather stay a child
|
And keep my self-respect
|
If being an adult
|
Means being like you
|
|
Are you really you you you
|
You you you you you you
|
Are you really you?
|
No
|
|
You're a chained-up dog fenced in a yard
|
Don't see much, you can't go far
|
Pace and froth, you're getting sick
|
Run too fast and it'll snap your neck
|
|
You say you'll break out
|
But you never do
|
You're just another ant in the hill
|
That's your Life Sentence
|
