Lyrics

Welcome To Your Life
Words and Music by: Michael Day
Copyright Invisible Adversary Music ASCAP

Time to get up, its time for school get your shoes
Come on I?ve let you sleep long enough
Time for classrooms and autumn hues, what?s these blues-
Trapped inside a starched uniform
Don?t be scared, come on the bus is waiting

So I go, do as I?m told
Walk around with my blinders on
Don?t misbehave you made your choice
This is your life- welcome to your life

I was the kid who never did what he was told to
When the teacher said so, I never listened
All of the kids would stand and stare they?d never dare to
Rebuke the principle, so I had to clean my locker out

Where are they now?
They can?t withstand privation

So they go, do as their told
Walk around with their blinders on
Meet a girl and buy a house
Build a fence ? keep the neighbors out

They?re doing what their told now
They do what you?d expect now
Their mad the neighbor?s kids run across their lawn
What?s so wrong?

So they go, do as their told
Walk around with their blinders on
Never misbehave - they made their choice
This is their life

They?re doing what their told now
They do what you?d expect now
Believe in all you read it?s just black and white
You never read between the lines to you we?re just alright

You got your flashlight and your batteries
Bottled water for emergencies
A war that?s fought by your minorities
We?ve lost respect and credibility
