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

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

It´s a Life Sentence
It´s a Life Sentence
It´s a Life Sentence
It´s a Life Sentence

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
