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
