lyrics

These kids drove out in vans from Ohio
Ready to change the world
Mapquest directions on the passenger seat
When world saving missions
Needed cartridge ink
They said when it’s our time (our time)
When these boomers get out of our way
They said when it’s our time (our time)
Remember how it feels
To mean what we say

And it feels like a lot of time
And it feels like a lot of time
And it feels like a lot of time
Since we took that drive

The campaign trail was exhausting
When his name wasn’t on the yard signs
All the cycles spent making phone calls
and compromise
He swore when it’s my time (my time)
When the slogans all come from my heart
When it’s my time (my time)
If you know how to lose
you’ve won from the start

And it feels like a lot of time
And it feels like a lot of time
And it feels like a lot of time
Since we even tried

Now the chairman is throwing his hat in
He’s tried to do everything right
If your boss can keep all of his promises
This could be a new kind of fight
He said this is my time (my time)
Wait, what do the numbers say
He said this is my time (my time)
That kid he knows nothing, get out of my way

And it feels like a lot of time
And it feels like a lot of time
And it feels like a lot of time
Since he knew himself

And it feels like a lot of time
And it feels like a lot of time
And it feels like a lot of time
Since we had a choice
