What a time
A time to be alive
Simpler than it's ever been to sip from the wine
Oh what a time
To be inside your head
Stuck there playing back the things that you read
Oh what a time
A time to be alive
With all the extra seconds you could take a drink or five
Oh what a time
To be inside your head
Stuck there playing back the things that you read
And I wish it wasn't so hard
Just to get by on
And I wish the rest was just fine
Just fine
And I guess it isn't so hard
To see it flying
What a time
What a time
A time to be set
There's a notion in the rain that the bar isn't met
Oh what a time
To be a little sad
Still there playing back the things that were said
Oh what a time
A time to be set
It washes all away, then complains that you're wet
Oh what a time
To be a little sad
Still there playing back the things that you read
And I wish it wasn't so hard
Just to get by on
I don't want to lose my eyes
My eyes
And I guess it isn't so hard
To see it flying
What a time
'Cause I think about it too much
Too much, too much
Or I don't think of it enough
Enough, enough
'Cause I think about it too much (And I wish it wasn't so hard)
Too much, too much
Or I don't think of it enough (And I guess it isn't so hard)
Enough, enough
And I wish it wasn't so hard (Too much)
Just to get by on (Too much, too much)
And I wish the rest was just fine (Too much)
Just fine (Too much, too much)
And I guess it isn't so hard (Too much)
To see it flying (Too much, too much)
What a time (Too much)
(Too much, too much)
It grabs you when you're blind
It pawns you, such a good find
Beyond you in your mind
Implies your own thoughts have zero motivation
Or else they have no patience
What do you want?
Too simple, it's a wolf like a lamb
Butter and jam
Yes ma'am, just some
Butter and jam
Yes ma'am
It puts you on its time
It costs just a nickel and dime
It gives you all your lines
Always fishing for your thoughts have plenty hesitation
Or else they have no patience
What do you want?
Too simple, it's a wolf like a lamb
Butter and jam
Yes ma'am, just some
Butter and jam
Yes ma'am
Butter and jam
Yes ma'am, just some
Butter and jam
Yes ma'am
No rules in love and war
Only gets you so far when you're out the door
Sure I can't go and take you to lover's court
But you'll never know when you wish you had more
(More, more, more, more)
No rules doesn't mean you can't cheat
No rules doesn't mean you ain't beat
No rules in love and war
You ain't got my love anymore
More, more, more, more
No rules in war and love
Only gets you so far with your other stuff
Sure I can't go and call your lover's bluff
But your chips ain't there when you leave in a huff
(More, more, more, more, more, more, more)
No rules doesn't mean you can't cheat
No rules doesn't mean you ain't beat
No rules in love and war
You ain't got my love anymore
More, more, more
No sense picking up the car
When your gas runs out, out this far
And there's no sense picking up the tab
When your credit card's got my name attached, so
No rules doesn't mean you can't cheat
No rules doesn't mean you ain't beat
No rules in love and war
You ain't got my love anymore
No rules doesn't mean you can't cheat
No rules doesn't mean you ain't beat
No rules in love and war (No rules doesn't mean you can't cheat)
You ain't got my love anymore (No rules doesn't mean you ain't beat)
Boys will be boys
And girls will be girls
Differences signal the end of the world
And you can be anything you want to be
As long as your dreams align
Perfectly with patriarchy
Take a gander at your gender and you will see
Check your manner and your slender anatomy
Raise a banner, have a bender
'Til you render out your anger
Silently, they yelled to she
Men will be men
And women the same
Differences signal an end to the game
And you can do anything you want to do
As long as your hopes are few
And far between the everything seen
Take a gander at your gender and you will see
Mind your manners and your tender anatomy
Raise a banner, have a bender
'Til you render out your anger
Silently, they yelled to he
And though times may change
It stays all the same
As our hopes get higher
I preach to the choir that
You can be anything you want to be
Even if your self denies
Long defined, what's premised
Take a gander at your gender and you will see
As you ponder, growing fonder of what it could be
Though it's stable, it's a label
And it's fabled it will table
'Cause there's not much it means
In reality
In reality, in reality, in reality
Awake when you're asleep
So fake and yet so deep
It can drown you
When everything you do
Only serves to make the blue
Of the swimming pool
Yet we are only satisfied
When we can only shut our eyes
And dream
And we can only memorize
The things that keep us mesmerized
And leave
Can make you so upset
And yet you still forget
What you were shown
Though it's terribly untrue
It uses ethanol like glue
To keep it together
Yet we are only satisfied
When we can only shut our eyes
And dream
And we can only memorize
The things that keep us hypnotized
And leave
Oh we are only satisfied
When we can only shut our eyes
And dream
And we can only memorize
The things that keep us mesmerized
And leave
Oh we can do naught but memorize
The things that keep us so hypnotized
And leave
Still we will only be satisfied
When we can finally shut our eyes
And fly, seeing
Long thought without a society
Forgot their own propriety
Gone south, where nobody else can see
Could you really call them free?
In this void that they call their own life
Not a coin in sight, not a threat to stifle them
Long ago threw away their own knife
Just a cigarette butt behind their ear
Thought much of every game they played
Lost touch with every friend they made
Gone south, where nobody else can hear
Is there even anything to fear?
In this void where they find their own place
Not a toy in sight, not a single star in space
Long ago outgrew their own face
Just a cigarette butt behind their ear
Long thought without a society
Forgot their own propriety
Gone south, where nobody else can see
Could you really call them free?
In this void that they call their own life
Not a coin in sight, not a threat to stifle them
Long ago threw away their own knife
Just a cigarette butt behind their ear
Behind their ear, behind their ear
