[Intro]
Opportunity came to my door
When I thought I might need a ride
But I said, "I'm doing all right"
Turn around and start to see

[Verse 1]
Yeah, life is boring
Monday, Tuesday
The machines are roaring
Wednesday, Thursday
Friday, and the rain keeps falling
Just like every day

Time is running
Saturday, Sunday
When there's gonna be
Some holiday for you?

[Refrain]
And time flies, time flies
Time flies, time flies

[Pre-Chorus]
I could be a rich man
And I could be a superstar
Yeah, what's the aim and what's the plan?
Please just leave again
[Chorus]
Set me free, yeah, I wanna live it up
And let me be all that I wanna be
'Cause the whole world
In my hands is down
And nothing will last
Oh, bring back the harmony

Sweating, nightmares—no way to escape
No, I can't sleep
I'm going down in a sea of madness
Raging anger—hell or paradise
Deep in my dreams
No escape for you, no escape for me

[Refrain]
Time flies—gotta think it over
Time flies—better think again
Time flies—living in the real world
Time flies—or living on the edge

[Pre-Chorus]
I should be a wise man
Don't need to be a superstar

[Chorus]
Set me free, yeah, I wanna live it up
And let me be all that I wanna be
'Cause the whole world
Is in my hands now
But nothing will last
Oh, bring back the harmony
[Bridge]
What will you do in the dark?
The hand of your fate left its mark
So don't try to argue with me now

Your hell ain't a bad place to be
Take a look at your life now and see
'Cause maybe I will not come back

You stand on the edge of the world
Your life will be torn into pieces
The hammer is falling
The world is not waiting for you
Hey, you think that you know
What is real
Traveling around for no reason
You better watch out
And jump off of my cloud
For your own sake

[Solo: Both / Henjo / Both]

[Refrain]
Set me free, yeah, I wanna live it up
And let me be what I wanna be
[Chorus]
Set me free, mm, and let me live it up
And let me be all I wanna be
'Cause the whole world
Is in my hands now
And I want it to last—oh

Set me free, yeah
And let me be what I wanna be
The whole world is in my hands now
And I want it to last

[Outro]
Opportunity is me
