I wake up late for school and I run like hell to try and catch the bus Never thought about it but those days meant more than I thought they would Hanging out late with my friends, having fun like punks will do I never thought that those days would ever end so soon But as the years goes by your views on life they start to change When you see the world for what it is, it never looks the same You walk around, you got a chip on your shoulder 'Cause everyday you know you're just getting older I never thought it would be It's just a way of life I never though it would be It's just a way of life, it's just a way of life It's just a way of life, it's just a way of life I wake up late for work and I drive like hell trying to make ends meet Gotta borrow money 'cause my baby don't have shit to eat Staying up late, got two jobs, work my fingers to the bone Spending more time at those jobs than I ever spend at home And I can't help but feel the stress, all my bills keep adding up It's days like this, wish I was a kid, because I've had enough Look in the mirror; see my face getting older 'Cause everyday I feel the world getting colder I never thought it would be It's just a way of life I never thought it would be It's just a way of life All of my memories keep coming back again All my securities I'll never have again Wanting so much to be, to be myself again Give it all back to me, I want it back Bring it back Just a way of life Bring it back Just a way of life Bring it back Just a way of life Bring it back Bring it back to me Bring it back to me Bring it back to me Bring it back to me The innocence I felt Bring it back to me The happiness I felt Bring it back to me No matter what the cost Bring it back to me And everything I've lost I never thought it would be It's just a way of life I never thought it would be It's just a way of life All of my memories keep coming back again All my securities I'll never have again Wanting so much to be, to be myself again Give it all back to me, I want it back It's how I live my life, so fuck you Get the fuck off my back It's how I live my life, so fuck you Get the fuck off my back It's how I live my life, so fuck you Get the fuck off my back It's how I live my life, so fuck you Get the fuck off my back It's how I live my life, so fuck you Get the fuck off my back It's how I live my life, so fuck you Get the fuck off my back This is how I live my life This is how I live my life This is how I live my life This is how I live my life
