You used to be a partner in crime
  Now you say you ain't got the time
    Gotta get serious, gotta plan
  Gotta pass those entrance exams
  Oh my God
  It's senior year
  All you care about is your career
    [Chorus]
  It's a Life Sentence
  It's a Life Sentence
  It's a Life Sentence
  It's a Life Sentence
    You're squelching your emotions
  All you talk about is old times
  You don't do what you want to
  But you do the same thing everyday
    No sense of humor
  But such good manners
  Now you're an adult
  You're boring
    [Chorus]
    The walls are closing in
  You stayed too long in school
  I'd rather stay a child
  And keep my self-respect
  If being an adult
  Means being like you
    Are you really you you you
  You you you you you you
  Are you really you?
  No
    You're a chained-up dog fenced in a yard
  Don't see much, you can't go far
  Pace and froth, you're getting sick
  Run too fast and it'll snap your neck
    You say you'll break out
  But you never do
  You're just another ant in the hill
  That's your Life Sentence
