Artist: Billy Talent

Album: Billy Talent

  • Songwriters: Ian D'sa, Jon Gallant, Ben Kowalewicz, Aaron Solowoniuk

I never bite off more than I can chew
But then she came and bit me
I never bite off more than I can 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 that's 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?

A prisoner of no time for one another
No time for one another
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?

A prisoner of no time for one another, no time for one another
No time for one another, no time for one another
No time for one another
No time for one another

There's no time for one another
There's no time for one another
