Part Time Punks

Sold your soul, but only halfway
You play it safe for today
Swing for the fences while hedging your bets
Field of dreams with safety nets

Walk like a zombie, but only weekdays
Cause the reasons outweigh
The itch you're scratching is paying your debts
Sink like a dream, that helps you to forget

You sold your soul but only halfway
You played it safe again today
On the margins sinking with doubt
Devil on your shoulder, selling you out

Walk like a zombie only weekdays
Cause the reasons always outweigh
Chips are down, you're gonna obey
Stuck in the trenches, burn it all away

How long will you keep singing?
How long will the wheels keep spinning?
How long 'til they turn on the lights?
I came here to sing, but stayed for the night

You sold your soul but only halfway
You played it safe again today
On the margins sinking with doubt
Devil on your shoulder, selling you out

Walk like a zombie only weekdays
Cause the reasons always outweigh
Chips are down, you're chickening out
Run for the exits, can you live without?

How long will you keep singing?
How long will the wheels keep spinning?
How long 'til they turn on the lights?
I came here to sing, but stayed for the night
