I'd never bite off more then I could chew but then she came and bit me
I'd never bite off more then I could chew but then she bit my leg
She said: "don't wanna work, I wanna play, and live my life like it was Sunday
The only problem is that Sunday only comes now once a week and I'm a freak, but..."
We're breaking up the city
No time for wasting away
So tell me why should we stay
A prisoner of today
My body's tired, my soul's excited and I wish that I was gifted
My body's tired, my soul's excited and I wish I had some spunk
She said: "I wanna run, I wanna hide, and leave this place just like it left me
The only problem is I need to find the balls to follow through and thats the truth, but..."
We're breaking up the city
No time for wasting away
So tell me why should we stay
A prisoner of today
We're breaking up the city
No time for wasting away
So tell me why should we stay
A prisoner of today (when there's no time for one another, no time for one another)
Cause this is our time, this is our time
This is our time and our place
History I, history I
History I can't erase
Cause this is our time, this is our time
This is our time and our place
History I, history I
History I can't erase
We're breaking up the city
No time for wasting away
So tell me why should we stay
A prisoner of today
We're breaking up the city
No time for wasting away
So tell me why should we stay
A prisoner of today
We're breaking up the city
No time for wasting away
So tell me why should we stay
A prisoner of today
We're breaking up the city
No time for wasting away
So tell me why should we stay
A prisoner of today (when there's no time for one another, no time for one another)
There's no time for one another
There's no time for one another
