Awfully Big Adventure.

Ready Or Not

There's a time and a place to be young and have fun

But the time and place is now over and done

It's time to begin planning for the future

No whining or crying you need to be more mature

They tell you there's 18 years to have fun

But If you don't start at 16 then your life will be numb.

But even that is cutting it close to the line

Just to be safe why don't you start at 9

Cause life won't wait for you to sit and be ready

You should really have started when you got out of the belly

But it's too late for that now so let's begin while we can

If you want a good life you need to make a good plan

But you can't predict life so your plans will go wrong.

Don't say you weren't warned you knew all along.

Ready or not. Ready or not.

It's time to grow up if you're ready or not

If you're not ready go and take a shot.

Cause you gotta be a grown up ready or not.

You can fight all your life but you will always lose

And someone will be making money when you do

But there's someone who's life is worse so don't quit

You have no other choice than to take one more hit.

Cause the only key to success is patience and luck

If you don't have those then you're gonna get fucked

Over and over till you wanna give up

Because life has said you're not good enough!

But You have to keep fighting there's no other choice.

You need to ignore you dark inner voice

If you don't they will call you sick and unwell

So create yourself a tough exterior shell

But even that will eventually crack

And once it does there's no going back

You'll be in your forties halfway to death

forty years to go will you want what is left?

Ready or not. Ready or not.

It's time to grow up if you're ready or not

If you're not ready go and take a shot.

Cause you gotta be a grown up ready or not.

When old people miss their youth It feels like a knife

Cause that means this shit the highlight of their whole life

So is that that the truth? that it only only gets worse?

Is life a cycle of pain that just leads to a hearse?

From what i have seen adult life has three parts.

Work and mind and social life at the heart.

You need to balance all three to live life to the max

But inevitably something will slip through the cracks.

See if you focus on two the other will fall

You can be rich and sane with no loved ones to call

Or rich and loved but losing your mind

See there's no such thing as truly being fine

the word "fine" in itself is a lie

You're never fine and then you die

So i guess we must continue to stand up and fight

Maybe that is the meaning of life

Ready or not. Ready or not.

It's time to grow up if you're ready or not

If you're not ready go and take a shot.

Cause you gotta be a grown up ready or not.
