time slips

Sometimes I thinki that I know what I want
Out of my life but once again I prove myself wrong
Never felt like there was a dream job for me

I'm made to feel guilty if I don't wanna work
While I'm young, then retire when my body hurts
The repression of our passion has become our standard
And getting paid far less than what we deserve

I couldn't wait to grow up before but
I don't wanna be a grown up anymore

I feel like a child
Who pretends to be a man
One minute I'm young and I wanna grow up
So I let time slip through the crack of my hands

I miss being a child
Too naive to understand
How quickly you can yourself without a plan
While you're letting time slip through the crack of your hands

Who signed me up for this bullshit?
Trading time for paper is soulless
And why the fuck should I pay taxes?
I don't know

The value of our dollar decreases by day
And our parents think we're just young and lazy
When we inherited their broken economy

What kind of life is contingent on pain
Where happiness and health is impossible to maintain?
Yeah, yeah, when you're living on minimum wage

I couldn't wait to grow up before but
I don't wanna be a grown up anymore

I feel like a child
Who pretends to be a man
One minute I'm young and I wanna grow up
So I let the time slip through the crack of my hands

I miss being a child
Too naive to understand
How fast you can find yourself without a plan
Bro, you're letting time slip through the crack of your hands

It's so hard to maintian hope if you don't have willpower
To earn a whole masters degree just to make $15 an hour
