The Time of Your Life

The time of your life, is not just a phrase It's the best of times, not to be hazed So if you squander, your time, while meeting demands Your life will be, it's fleeting It's rings of sands, that stick to your hands The idea of working for a living What an hypocrisy And even offensive to me When my time, is my life And you're stealing it from me When I was fresh through, it's set up to school The golden rule More concerned about how you treat people While you're stealing my life Like grapes in a vineyard Basking in the sun Waiting for the day that you'll be stomped And turn into one Drink of wine My life is on the line I'm just a beginner, yet I'm labeled a sinner I'm not a pretender I solicit a vendor To steal us, our souls You're selling your goals In charge of the foe Also I'm told We get rewarded For reaching our goals With no regard for innocent souls We do as we're told Illegal Is just a bird Illegal Is just a word You cast me low, though I be regal Yet I soar high Just like the eagle Cause I be regal Hunters and gatherers Is how we begun Until we got sedentary And then the wars begun Then we got farmers And a merchant class Aristocracy They took over fast The next thing we know There's a struggle They call it a class struggle But the struggle's just the same A war of any other name Just couldn't quite be the same And now we're here In a time of Capitalism And money usury Look like the merchant class won And it's not like it used to be Now you're into modern slavery They call it working for a living When in reality it's just your time to give And isn't that what life is all about Time So if you're giving your time To reach goals Set by the stealers of souls Then you really Don't understand You misunderstood what you've been told Yeah The time of your life is not just a phrase It's the best of times Not to be hazed So if you squander your time While meeting demands Your life will be fleeting Just as grains of sand Slip through your hands The idea of working for a living The idea of working for a living Full of Hypocrisy And even offensive to me When it's my life And time That you're stealing from me
