[Verse 1]
I'm so tired
Of this nine-to-five
Said I'm exhausted
'Cause this ain't living life
And I want freedom
To do the things I like
And I ain't stopping
Until I'm satisfied

[Pre-Chorus]
And I just don't want to deal with life today
I said my mailbox is filled up with bills that I can't pay
And my doctor keeps saying things I don't want to hear
While I'm just hoping I can see next year

[Chorus]
But something's got to give
Something's got to change
It's not enough to live
You got to seize the day

Something's got to give
Something's got to change
It's not enough to live
You got to seize the day

Carpe diem
Carpe diem
Carpe diem
Carpe diem

[Verse 2]
I get so angry
When I get my paycheck
They take their taxes
And the rest I spend on rent
And this ain't freedom
Living life in debt
There's so much more
That I ain't seen just yet

[Pre-Chorus]
Said I just don't want to deal with life today
I said my mailbox is filled up with bills that I can't pay
And my doctor keeps saying things I don't want to hear
While I'm just hoping I can see next year

[Chorus]
But something's got to give
Something's got to change
It's not enough to live
You got to seize the day

Something's got to give
Something's got to change
It's not enough to live
You got to seize the day

Carpe diem
Carpe diem
Carpe diem
Carpe diem

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Refrain]
I said I just don't want to deal with life today
I said my mailbox is filled up with bills that I can't pay
And my doctor keeps saying things I don't want to hear
While I'm just hoping I can see next year

Something's got to give
Something's got to change
It's not enough to live
You got to seize the day

Something's got to give
Something's got to change
It's not enough to live
You got to seize the day

Carpe diem
Carpe diem
Carpe diem
Carpe diem

[Epilogue]
Seize the day
You got to seize the day
Got to seize the day
Got to seize the day
Carpe diem
