Times like these I dread
When I can't get out of my head
And the people I see are automaton hacks pickin' nits in my every deed
Times like these I find
When I'm stuck in the daily grind
And the clock tick-tocks, yeah, my time's running out
I've gotta find the key, or break the lock
Yeah, opportunity knocks
And it's time to answer the door
I've lived too long inside this box surrounding me
This is what I've been waiting for
Days like these I see
All my aspirations cease to be
Sacrificed on the altar of vocation and the illusion of stability
Times like these I know
That I'm just another numbered soul
In the great unwashed mass cubicle maze
Of the over-worked and the underpaid
Opportunity knocks
And it's time to open the door
I've been too long inside this box surrounding me
This is what I've been waiting for
Gotta get that paycheck
To keep the lights on for another month
Gotta punch that time card
And make it through another day mundane
Opportunity knocks
And it's time to open the door
I've been too long inside this box surrounding me
This is what I've been waiting for
