By The Time You're Twenty-five Lyrics & Chords By Sleater-kinney

By the time you're 25
Bills, another job, another baby
Get a boring job
But yet, you're a lie
Did you speak, did you want to rhyme
NO, no, no no!
Fame is no way to survive!
I forget my heart can beat
In ways besides one, two repeat
I can't believe it, what you want for me
I am speechless at the life you chose for me
By the time you're 25
Another record, another tour
You must be rich
Baby you're a star
But yet, you're a lie
Could you speak
Leave us all behind
Now
I'm not sorry that I beat you
At your own stupid game!
I forget my mouth can form
Sounds that slide beyond locked doors
I can't believe it, what you want for me
I am speechless at the life you chose for me
I want, I want, I want, to get out
Of this repetitious shout
I want, I want, I want, to get out
Of this repetitious shout
I want, I want, I want to go out!
You're staying, I hope that's what it's about
(I want, I want, I want to go out
Oof this repetitious shout)
I want, I want, I want to go out!
You're staying, I hope that's what it's about
I want, I want, I want to get out
Of this repetitious shout
