Prisoners Of Today Lyrics
I never bite off more than i could chew
But then she came and bit me
I never bite off more than i could chew
But then she bit my leg
She said don't wanna work i wanna play and live my life like it was sunday
The only problem is that sunday only comes now once a week and i'm a freak but....
we're breaking up the city
no time for wasting away
so tell me why should i stay
a prisoner of today
My body's tight my soul's excited and i wish that i was gifted
My body's tight my souls excited and i wish i had some spunk
I wanna run i wanna hide and leave this place Just like it left me
The only problem is i need to find the balls to follow through and that's the truth but....
we're breaking up the city
no time for wasting away
so tell me why should i stay a prisoner of today
no time for one another no time for one another no time for one another no time for one another....
But this is our time this is our time this is our time and our place
History i history i history i can't erase
This is our time this is our time this is our Time and our place...
Were breaking up the city
no time for wasting away
So tell me why should i stay a prisoner.
But then she came and bit me
I never bite off more than i could chew
But then she bit my leg
She said don't wanna work i wanna play and live my life like it was sunday
The only problem is that sunday only comes now once a week and i'm a freak but....
no time for wasting away
so tell me why should i stay
a prisoner of today
My body's tight my souls excited and i wish i had some spunk
I wanna run i wanna hide and leave this place Just like it left me
The only problem is i need to find the balls to follow through and that's the truth but....
no time for wasting away
so tell me why should i stay a prisoner of today
no time for one another no time for one another no time for one another no time for one another....
History i history i history i can't erase
This is our time this is our time this is our Time and our place...
no time for wasting away
So tell me why should i stay a prisoner.

This song is about not being happy with the regular routine that life has given you. The usual work 5 days a week and always looking forward to the one or 2 free day(s) at the end of the week just is depressing. Its also saying that it shouldn't be like that. It's your life and you should be happy with it.
Aww, one lonely comment about this song...
let's have a fiesta!
this is the best billy talent song.. also my email.. lalala. this was my most pointless comment.. ever. the end.
One of the best songs on the album and I'm sure you all agree. =D
I saw this song live like about a year ago and it was like my fav since then at the end of song ian aaron n ben did solos and they roked out man it wa sso awesome id have 2 say ian is best electric guitarist n aaron is an awesome drummer
Ian is the only guitarist...
ImmortalAl is correct.
its "my body's tired my soul's excited and i wish that i was gifted" etc. not my bodys tight oh well. this is their best song, so cool
Also... I think they were listening to that Along Comes Mary song... the "sweet as the punch" song... you know. The lyric pattern is VERY similar including the fast spoken verses.
The album is fucking great its so fucking awsome
this song is...epic can't wait for billy talent II
