The clock is ticking and my shelf life is up
Wrong side of the tracks, wrong side of the fence
Wrong thing that I lack, I lack the common sense
My life!
Yeah, this is all I know
And I've got no time
I've got no mind
I've got nowhere to go
Can't live in your world of the 9-5
You'll get your 15 minutes and I'll have my full life
My life!
And this is all I know
And I've got no time
I've got no mind
I've got nowhere to go
Career tests all came back: inconclusive
All that I gave give is a half-assed attempt
At being like you I'm not Normal Like You
There's nothing I can say that I haven't said 5,000 times
You've got your way to live and I've got mine
There's nothing to say I've said it 15,000 times
Kiss it goodnight Kiss me goodbye
You think it never hurts? All the confusion
All the itches in my nerves All the hate in my blood
My blood!
This isn't what I need
Occupational society won't put my mind at ease
The clock is ticking and my shelf life is up
All bets have been placed for when the wheel's gonna stop
So stop!
'Cause this what I need
This is life
And this is love
And this is my release
Pains my soul to separate like this
I guess that's how it is I'll leave myself to mine
Our paths can't cross now I wish I had one more chance now
There's nothing I can say that I haven't said 5,000 times
You've got your way to live and I've got mine
There's nothing to say I've said it 15,000 times
Kiss it goodnight Kiss me goodbye
It's been a year or two since we've communicated
So don't tell me you're one for me to trust/believe in
I believe nothing I will not trust anyone again
Anyone again
I've said it 15,000 times
My brain is twitching and I still can't give up
I've run far off course, and I'm never gonna stop
This clock's stopped ticking Sorry I got no more shelf life for ya, baby
The time bomb's ticking, I'll commence blowing up
I've been blow to hell, but I've still got much love
(Even though) you won't love me once I'm washed up
I'm all washed up and I can't trust no one
I can't trust anyone these days
Sign your line on the dotted name:
"I claim responsibility for my own life"
And set me free
Now I'll look out for me me me
That's just what everyone else does
You see much happier than me
Don't count on that for long 'cause I'm leaving the baggage right here
And I'm doing my best not to care
