I Guess It's Time

from SLAKBOY by TEACOZY

lyrics

I guess it's time to get a job, or better yet get a career
can't be living in the now - the destination isn't here
it is somewhere far away, only reached by pure force
and when you finally arrive there's a further place of course
and they never let you be, always something new to fix
cannot do it how you want, gotta learn their secret tricks
and of course you gotta pay - "5 easy steps to be a knob"
but i haven't got the cash, I guess it's time to get a job

I guess it's time that I grow up, or better yet, already grown
learn to shoulder all the weight and accept that i'm alone
trade my love in for routine, hang a carrot 'fore my steed
tear up all these dirty forests, plant that monoculture seed
lock the cage around the child, bury it down deep inside
no more singing just for fun, only when in battle cry
have a clever word debate about how much is in the cup
and if you think that it's absurd well then it's time that you grow up

But i'd rather just ignore all these voices in my head
all this pressure on my shoulders from the shit that i've been fed
it's not doing much for me and so I wonder who it's for
I want to be inside my own and never hear you anymore
I don't want what was before, why don't we make something new?
I will bloom from out of me and you can bloom from out of you
But you're gonna have to promise that you'll leave that shit behind
I want your life to be good - please don't be a drag on mine!

I guess it's time that I jump ship, but this time i'll leap for real
I'll get good with who I am, i'll get down with how I feel
I will learn to let it out even when i'm pretty sure
they will label me a heretic that's rotten to the core
but I gotta find my peace and I gotta draw my line
even if only in sand to be washed away in time
though i'll never be enough to the standards of the group
strike their judgment from my mind it is time to fly the coop!

It is time to fly the coop!
It is time to fly the coop!
Is it time to fly the coop?
or is it time to get a job?
