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
