when we were just 13 we

were told what to believe in

it didn't matter to us

what we were seen as

but then at 17 we

cared about being seen and

we lost the freedom of our youth

cause when we were kids

nothing could go wrong

and everything was fun

cause we all just got along

the world was open wide

we had our hopes and dreams

now it's all falling apart at the seams

as we keep getting older

this world keeps getting colder

we tried out best but they gave us

the cold shoulder

things aren't the way they used to be

i'm opressed for what i believe

ignorance will never see

don't you see that i'm not really ready yet

just let me stay right where i am

cause im still just a boy

in the body in the body of man
