I'd never bite off more
     F
then i could chew
                      D#    F
But then she came and bit me
Gm

          F
more then i could chew
              D#     F
But then she bit my leg
        Gm
She said  Don't
                     F
wanna work I wanna play
And live my life

prisoners 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

Chorus:
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 I stay
A prisoner of today?
A prisoner of no time for one another
(We're breaking up the city)
No time for one another
(No time for wasting away)
No time for one another
(So tell me, why should I stay)
No time for one another
(A prisoner of today?)
