Hear me, when I speak
And just listen and
Try not to be some kind of
Self-righteous high being
Or the opposite and mislead me
To better your mind and see
This is a story of how we can be

They're building you up
To tear you down
They won't admit it
BUt it's true
Smiling advice to end
With your frown
Cause they don't want
What's best for you
It's sad, I know, I know
But you know I'm something else
And now's my turn to sit back and tell

That you don't know just when to stop
You're livin life to be on top
So step back and be real
Just admit the way you feel
And see that we are all
One big learning gang
And it's true that
We all wanna be the baddest
We all have a little baggage
Even though we hide it
And we always will deny it
We are driving this float down Main
In this pride parade

And I'm not sayin that
I'm any better than you
Sometimes I have motives
That are just so stupid
And I play the fool
But man, you're killing me
This charade has got to end
So stop acting like you know everything
Cause you're missin the point
You are supposed to be my friend, Go!

You don't know just when to stop
You're livin life to be on top
So step back and be real
Just admit the way you feel
And see that we are all
One big learning gang
And it's true that
We all wanna be the baddest
We all have a little baggage
Even though we hide it
And we always will deny it
We are driving this float down Main
In this pride parade

I don't, I don't, know, oh

Just try, just try, tell me the way
Take me to another place where
I know, I know, what's happening
To my head, and to my dreams, cause
I want, I want, I need, I need
Some peace of mind, and clarity
So just take, take my hand
And let's flee, whoa

You don't know just when to stop
You're livin life to be on top
So step back and be real
Just admit the way you feel
And see that we are all
One big learning gang
And it's true that
We all wanna be the baddest
We all have a little baggage
Even though we hide it
And we always will deny it
We are driving this float down Main
In this pride parade

Oh, oh, oh, ohh,
La da da, da da, da da
Oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh, oh, ohh,
La da da, da da, da da
