Billy Talent - Prisoners Of Today Lyrics






I never bit off more than I can chew,
But then she came and bit me
I never bit off more than I can chew but then she bit my leg
She said "dont 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 we stay,
Prisoners Of Today!

My body's tired, my souls excited and i wish that i was gifted,
My body's tired my soul's excited and I wish I had some spunk,
She said "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 now..."

We're breaking up the city,
No time for wasting away,
So tell me why should we stay,
Prisoners of today!

When there's no time for one another?

Cause this our time and our space..
History I can't erase!

We're breaking up the city,
No time for wasting away,
So tell me why should we stay,
Prisoners of today!

When there's no time for one another
There's no time for one another??

    'd never bite off more then I could chew
    But then she came and bit me
    I'd never bite off more then 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 we stay
    A prisoner of today

    My body's tired, my soul's excited
    And I wish that I was gifted
    My body's tired, my soul's excited
    And I wish I had some spunk
    She said:
    "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 thats the truth but..."

    T.... ....

    just "this is our time" without "Well" ;)

    T.... ....

    Also he says no "no time to waste away" it's the guitarist afterwards that says "no time for wasting away"

  49. F.... P....

    I still remember the first time that I heard Billy Talent’s First Album. I was overcome with joy with their dove tail joint yet loose play on what the old punk rock never quite had.

  50. D.... ....

    When you live with a disability you feel this way all the time :(

    J.... E....

    @***** Düsseldorf for example 

  58. A.... n....

    The guy crowed surfing at the beginning 😂

  59. M.... T....

    I'm not really a fan of Billy Talent anymore... I mean they're chill and all but I've moved on.

    That being said, though... I do concede Ian D'Sa to be one of the coolest fucken guitarists I've ever seen. His riffs are so fucken badass! Always!! Always with the badass riffs!! I owe my musicianship to him. He paved the way for my style of playing. I respect the band a lot, even though I've evolved since being such a big fan of them in the past.

    No doubt, Ian D'sa is fucken awesome! \m/

    M.... T....

    DragonForces´ Riffs are also badass \m/

    M.... T....

    billy talent is also evolving.

    M.... T....

    Mehbobo Torp I understand ylu probably already foegot you ever wrote this comment, but what are your thpughts on them now after afraid of heights?

    M.... T....

    I love afraid of heights and All the songs, I guess ill never will grow up

    M.... T....

    how do you just stop being a fan of a band...must not have been a very big fan...i don't listen to zepp often anymore but to say I'm not a fan would be ridiculous

  60. M.... ....

    This is my favourite Billy talent's video

  61. M.... ....

    This is my favourite Billy talent's video

  62. T.... R....

    also the one from no doubt in the old days

  63. C.... ....

    Da kann man sich garnicht festlegen, welcher Song zu den Besten zählt.... sind alle verdammt gut und so viele noch besser und noch mehr mega genial =)

  64. T.... ....

    Nordiques de Québec FTW!

  65. R.... S....

    *People today are prisoners to their constantly active minds. Emancipate yourself from your own mental slavery by reading "The Present" on www•TruthContest•com*

    R.... S....

    Never trust anyone named Rico Swauve.

    R.... S....

    +Flappy McFloppers flappy floppers i trust u

    R.... S....

    daaaamn about deep shit bro

  66. J.... ....

    why does the indian guitarist remind me so much of the guitarist from sum 41 

    J.... ....

    hes not obviously but pretty damn close

    J.... ....

    indian. HA

    J.... ....

    J.... ....

    +Sir Vapegod Good eye, yea Ian is of Goan decent

    J.... ....

    cuz their both indian :o ... both pretty darn good

  67. J.... C....

    Billy Talent: just putting this out there...we're big fans, and think you could do a killer rendition of the classic Johnny Cash song, Ring of Fire. With a previously unreleased album (Out Among the Stars) dropping March 25th, Johnny Cash is being resurrected over a decade after his death and I think you guys could catch some big American audiences with a new version of his revered and relatively uncovered tune. I see a guerrilla performance in Buffalo coinciding with the revitalization of the city’s park system - shoot a quick video promoting city-building and civic pride, showcase yourselves and Buffalo parks, get it viral, contribute your efforts to charity - a win win win... you should do it! We want to make it happen and if you act soon, how about you have a military tank around during the shoot?!?
    With every respect intended, please let us know if you’re into it - no one could add the reverence of you guys!!

    J.... C....

    amazing suggestion you should email their fan page with that because i doubt they read their youtube comments due to all the mean comments that fly around

  68. F.... F....

    We're breaking up the city,
    No time for wasting away
    So tell me why should we stay, 
    Prisoners Of Today!........

  69. K.... ....
