Wake at four and slip into the train
Time to join the rat race
Jot in planner, take some time for son
It would be a change for once
(Prechorus)
You said you'd be there
A promise was broken
Love could not give you a reason
To stay, to stay
(Chorus)
Look around at these people
That you call your friends
They would sell you for money
If they ever got the chance
I don't think that you saw
The cost or consequence
Of killing those years
Sold your soul to chase for gold and fame
It has cost you everything
Punch the clock and work the overtime
The hourglass has all run dry
Prechorus
Chorus
Of killing those years
Bop-ba-ba-bop
Bop-ba-ba-bop
Bop-ba-ba-bop
Ba-ba-ba-bop
Chorus
Na-na-nah
Na-na-na-na-nah
Na-na-nah
Na-na-na-na-nah
Na-na-nah
Na-na-na-na-nah
You never really saw
The cost or consequence
Of killing those years
Time to join the rat race
Jot in planner, take some time for son
It would be a change for once
(Prechorus)
You said you'd be there
A promise was broken
Love could not give you a reason
To stay, to stay
(Chorus)
Look around at these people
That you call your friends
They would sell you for money
If they ever got the chance
I don't think that you saw
The cost or consequence
Of killing those years
Sold your soul to chase for gold and fame
It has cost you everything
Punch the clock and work the overtime
The hourglass has all run dry
