They always say "someday, you think just like me."
When I give up, become a bitter old fool, how much older do I have to be?

I didn't ask to be here,
I'm just another person in this world.

I've no special place of privilege,
So how much longer until..?

Chorus:
All the fools at work & on my TV screen,
Same shit I heard when I was 15.
Don't know what I hate more,
The bigotry or the lack of originality?
That's why I still love all my teenage dreams,
Idealism over apathy.
How anyone wants to live their life is fine with me.

The older I get the more I see how full of shit old people are.
I expected bullshit, I just expected new BS.

"Damn kids these days & welfare queens,"
"Everyone's free ride except for me."

Does it sound familiar you fucking tool?
It's the shit your parents dumped on you.

Chorus:

Break:
Funny thing about your version of maturity.
It crumbles under the weight of your pseudo-morality.
Why does growing up mean giving up on everything that made me me?
You didn't sell out to the man, you sold out your humanity.

Chorus:
