Hey Sir, I need a little change

Everything around me kinda looks a little strange

You see, here's the situation

I'm feeling the frustration of my loner generation

My father's always workin' - my mother never smiles

The world is on their shoulders, money problems on their mind

They're full of good intentions as far as I can tell

But we're so disconnected like I'm living by myself



If there's someone out there who knows what I feel say hey ya!

If you're feelin' like you got the short end of the deal say hey ya!

When the world's got you backed up against the wall

And no one's there to catch you, when you're starting to fall

If you feel like no one cares what's going on

You're not alone



Hey teacher today what's the lesson

I hope you got some answers 'cause I got a lot of questions

Help me out I need an education

A little inspiration, wanna see my graduation

Does it really matter? Does anybody care?

You're goin' through the motions got me pullin' out my hair

If everybody's sleepin' I'm locking all my doors

Text me if you want to, I can't take it anymore



If there's someone out there who knows what I feel say hey ya!

If you're feelin' like you got the short end of the deal say hey ya!

When the world's got you backed up against the wall

And no one's there to catch you, when you're starting to fall

If you feel like no one cares what's going on

You're not alone



Cuz I feel like I'm drowning in space

Fighting with the choices and the chances I take

It keeps knockin' me down, lockin' me in

I'm reachin' out again- is anybody out there?



So if there's someone out there who knows what I feel say hey ya!

If you're feelin' like you got the short end of the deal say hey ya!

When the world's got you backed up against the wall

And no one's there to catch you, when you're starting to fall

If you feel like no one cares what's going on

You're not alone
