Your youth has disappeared in a cloud of smoke
Breathing in that fog, you turned weak and you broke
The science of getting high made a fool of you

Someone's got to tell you what to do, and I'll do it

This is your life, this is not a game

You think you're cool, but I think you're to blame
And it's not too late to wake up and stop
Before you turn from cool to cold


You watch your life fading in a hollow spoon
Your life was a flower that refused to bloom

And it grows in your head but all the seeds are dead
Someone's got to tell you what to do, and I'll do it


This is your life, this is not a game
You think you're cool, but I think you're to blame
And it's not too late to wake up and stop

Before you turn from cool to cold

I don't want you to destroy yourself

I don't want you to die
I don't want you to destroy yourself
I don't want you to die


This is your life
This is your life, not a game


This is your life, this is not a game
You think you're cool, but I think you're to blame

And it's not too late to wake up and stop
Before you turn from cool to cold


This is your life
This is your life, this is not a game
