Just try to keep in mind 
Life is too short to be wasting all your time 

So sick of playing this game of follow the leader 

And it seems the world is held together 
By the same strings that tug our hearts 
And they twist and they pull and get tangled up 
And it seems we're all so stuck in this normal way of living 
You aren't taught to follow your dreams 
American standard 
The future's as bright as it seems 

There's evil in this world even if you don't see it 
You have to look a little closer, closer 
You have to lend me your ears 
And just try to keep in mind 
Life is too short to be wasting all my time 
Obsessed and terrified 
We're the ones who control our lives 

So sick of playing this game  [bad word]  
So sick of playing this game! 

You want [bad word]  I can't tell you what is real 
On that shining box you call a life 
I refuse, I resist to live this way 
Solve or be solved. Walk the walk 

Follow the leader, 
Follow your leader! 
I refuse: I resist to live this way 
Will you find your own way?

Just try to keep in mind 
Life is too short to be wasting all your time 
[x2] 

Just try to keep in mind 
Life is too short to be wasting all my time. 
Obsessed and terrified 
We're the ones who control our lives. 

Just try to keep in mind 
Life is too short to be wasting all my time. 
We're the ones who control our lives, 
Yeah we're the ones who control our lives.
