I Say

They say you need to join the real world
They say it's time to grow up
They say you better watch your diet
They say get a proper job

But I won't give in
Wear a different skin
Won't let them take my smile away
Who are «they» anyway?

So I say stop the t-t-talking
I'm so sick of empty noises
I'm just doing what I'm doing
And I don't need no permission from you, no
My way is to laugh as I'm falling
We're too young to be conforming
Get right out of my head
You're talking means nothing
And that's all you've said

I listen to nothing

They ask «when will you get married?»
They say you're too young to settle down
They ask «are you saving for your future?»
They say time is running out

But I won't give in to that silly spin
Won't let them take my smile away
Who are they anyway?

So I say stop the t-t-talking
I'm so sick of empty noises
I'm just doing what I'm doing
And I don't need no permission from you
My way is to laugh as I'm falling
We're young to be conforming
Get right out of my head
You're talking means nothing
Did you hear what I said?

They tell you to keep your head down
They tell me to stick to the safe ground
You can shout all you like I won't turn around
No ones right I don't give a damn
I'll do this my way I'll do this my way

So I say stop the t-t-talking
I'm so sick of all these noises
I'm just doing what I'm doing
And I don't need no permission from you
My way is to laugh as I'm falling
We're all too young to be conforming
Get right out of my head
You're talking means nothing
Did you hear what I said?

You're talking mean nothing
