If you are feeling tired pissed off and run down
Please have a little look around your hometown
I know I was devastated by what I found
Even all childrens dreams buried 6 feet underground
Enough of the fighting we should just have some joy
No more being posable like a damn kids toy
It's time to go and fuck up all the rich man's ploys
Come you must be pissed, there's no use in being coy
Take it easy and slow down just a little bit
Check your shoes look a bit big like they just don't fit
Find something else you can see only as a gift
Coz this soul sucking earth will leave you with a rift
You know Were not slaves so just stop working like one
Just coz you don't kill yourself don't mean you're a bum
Life is just too short please hold on tight to your mum
None of us can predict the future or what's to come
I really wish I didn't know any better
Not enough to follow the law to the letter
Got to go follow or be the new trendsetters
Or obituaries in local newspapers
Take a couple days off and have a nice long rest
You can't be burnt out and still be your very best
Just imagine it like this whole life is a test
Building up maintain and protecting your nest
you don't get it I don't know if you ever will
I'm not in this music game for any cheap thrills
Oh the Lord knows It doesn't even pay my bills
But know when I'm gone you use my songs as my will
You know Were not slaves so just stop working like one
Just coz you don't kill yourself don't mean you're a bum
Life is just too short please hold on tight to your mum
None of us can predict the future or what's to come
If you're still in school just figure out what you like
Dont matter if it's as simple as riding bikes
Find that chord within and don't hesitate just strike
Keep that dream in mind and dont you ever lose sight
Adult life just ain't the freedom you think it is
Paying all of your taxes bills and rent arrears
Finally understanding all of mums old fears
Since she's gone it's like life's shifted in reverse gear
If you learn just one lesson be that life is short
Not enough time to think what we're doing this for
Just keep it on going please to you I implore
It's gonna be worth it I promise you I'm sure
You know Were not slaves so just stop working like one
Just coz you don't kill yourself don't mean you're a bum
Life is just too short please hold on tight to your mum
None of us can predict the future or what's to come
