[Verse 1: Time]
I remember growing up I thought we were rich
Cause when i wanted something you would charge it
You would write a check I didn't understand yet
That you had jobs and we were in debt
You were my superheros unstoppable
All the problems i had, you solved them all
I never really knew that you were really blue
I know you both love me and that's still true
We make mistakes but that don't mean we're wrong
If we don't cry that don't mean we're strong
We're just trying to hold it together for each other
And now that I'm a man i want to help my mother
My father's a worker he wants to protect us
But all we can do is just pack up the wreckage
Tears aren't weakness, let the river lead us
I guess we shouldn't build everything on the beaches
[Hook: Time]
I'm all grown up but i feel so little
All my action figures look so brittle
These hands are porcelain these hands are fragile
Reality's the tide, we lost our sand castle
I say we occupy and foreclose all the banks
Then throw all the lawyers in the loan shark tanks
Let's take it back to sit downs and boycotts in flint
The working cla** is poor that's why I'm anti-establishment
You shouldn't have to squat where you're grandpa built
Now I'm looking for my history on a carton of milk
A general strike on greed is what human nature needs
Now the house is full of ghosts and the gardens full of weeds
They'd destroy the whole earth for money, even though it's their own home
They'd rather have extinction, then miss a payment on your loan
Ayn Rand married the monopoly man
Now everything's a commodity, they even own the ownership apostrophe
This isn't a protest, this is direct action
This is how you build a house with a mouth on your own land, no taxes
Forgive the past, live in the moment
If love's a home then we'll never be homeless
[Hook: Time]
I'm all grown up but i feel so little
All my action figures look so brittle
These hands are porcelain these hands are fragile
Reality's the tide, we lost our sand castle
[Outro: Time]
Skyscrapers, banks, cops i feel little
History, the future, i got erased in the middle
Laws, lies, i'm tired of the riddles
Resist, revolt, everything's brittle
