Teenager's Lament

(앨범: Years In The Making - 2018)

Nobody asked me to come here
To be in this unhappy home
I came here because I had to
I got here all on my own

Nobody asked me to stay here
If I wanted to I could leave
I stick around 'cause I want to
Which is where I belong, I believe

You people think that you own me
But you're finding out that's not true
You think that just 'cause you had me
But if anyone owns me, I do

Nobody asked me to be here
And I'm not sure why I stick around
I suppose it's to find out what happens
'Cause here's where it's all going down
Get down

The odds are that I will outlive you
I'm sure you will be shuffling' on
I guess one day I will forgive you
For screwing up my life for so long

You treat me just like a baby
'Cause once upon time I was
You people act like you made me
But I'm here because that's what sex does

Oh, now that was a time you impressed me
Way back when I was just small
But like the song says, "Hey, Big Boss Man
You ain't so big, just tall, that's all"

Once it was your world, but listen
It's my world, now why can't you see?
You're just a dinosaur walking among us
You'll be extinct eventually, yeah

Nobody asked me to come here
To be in this unhappy home
I came here because I had to
Yeah, I got here all on my own
