In this life there's no room to fake Any chance you get, you know you better take In this world it's hard to catch a break Pay your dues, serve your time, everyday you wake Spent all day staring at the clock, serving my time Stuck in my mind picking at the lock, serving my time Dreaming of a simpler way, serving my time Don't wanna rot and just waste away You won't see me back once I'm free Throw out the lock along with the key Hide myself from those that don't agree A life of my own, let me be me Spent all day staring at the clock, serving my time Stuck in my mind picking at the lock, serving my time Dreaming of a simpler way, serving my time Don't wanna rot and just waste away This is the end of the line I'm still here but I've done no crime This world is mine I've served my time
