lyrics

I’d like to raise my glass and offer up a toast
For all the people who are living stagnant
So many bust their ass for half a chance to boast
Like they exist inside a beauty pageant

By the time you’re twenty
This is what you should have done

I don’t want to admit, I’m not a millionaire
The way I’m going, I won’t ever be one
But I could never fit with those who truly care
To end their voyage when it hasn’t begun

By the time you’re thirty
By the time you’re forty
This is what you should have done

We gather today to form the dream in question
They all look away
‘Cause everyone’s running out the clock

Somewhere there plays a song, it hovers over all
And if we’re lucky we might even hear it
We try to sing along, follow the bouncing ball
But even then we can’t retain the lyrics

By the time you’re fifty
By the time you’re sixty
By the time you’re ninety
By the time you’re dead
