18 years on and the battles just begun

Live your life like a soldier on the run

Grow up fast and learn to be a man

Now you're just doing what you can



[Chorus]

And you're only doing what you know

So far its everything you're told

You're only doing as you're told

How's it feel to be bought and sold



Life's more to you than meets the eye

You're out to get your slice of life

But you don't stop to blink an eye

Too numb to even reason why



From the start you're taught and told

But in the end you're bought and sold

And everything that's in between

is wasted time and memories

As time goes by you realize

You've now become what you despise

Too late to change or have a say

Your yesterday's a day away
