Good Advice

Put down your pencils
Time is up
And pass your papers to the front
Did you hear that bell?
It means your dead
Guess what, your life was just a test
(Surprise)
How'd you think you did?
Did you listen to the right people
Who taught you how to live?
As you barrel faster towards the end
Keep smiling
Dying like you lived

I guess the bastards finally got you
I guess it's one of those days

Say goodnight
I'm out of step and out of time
Big surprise
Why's good advice so hard to come by?
Close your eyes
Walk among us one more time
Curse the sky
Why's good advice so hard to come by?

You start thinking
"Hey, I know this place
Same awful look. Same sour taste"
It's a good deal south of outer space
Just north of bell and straight on till day
Here we go again
Did a typo on your file give you another chance?
I guess you best be moving on
Act fast before they know you're gone

I guess the bastards finally got you
I guess it's one of those days

Say goodnight
I'm out of step and out of time
Big surprise
Why's good advice so hard to come by?
Close your eyes
Walk among us one more time
Curse the sky
Why's good advice so hard to come by?

I know, I know you're in the corner shaking
Just go save yourself
While you're still worth saving
Someday you'll die
But for now enjoy the ride
And I'll see ya when I see ya on the other side

I guess the bastards finally got you
I guess it's one of those days

Say goodnight
I'm out of step and out of time
Big surprise
Why's good advice so hard to come by?
Close your eyes
Walk among us one more time
Curse the sky
Why's good advice so hard to come by?
