No respect in your youth Lots of things you must prove A constant talk of payin' dues They'll glare or they'll ignore you
And so you form your own groups Fuck the things they value And you'll make up your own rules Society has failed you!
But time will win through When you can't get the life you'd like to Resenting what your friends do Is spite what disincludes you?
Modify your old views In a shift of all you'd held true Cause what the point or real use? A change and they'll accept you!
Stop asking why Don't even try They're what you need, They will offer pat salvation
Well isn't this the Motherfucking coup de grace? A subtle psychological coup d'etat Did you see it? Did you hear it? Did you fear it? Are you filed with the Spirit of sensibility?
Be mature, and live through A job that now defines who You are, a hopeless peer soon To the mentors who will advise you
And they you're married, quick, soon Wonder why it was you had to Put dreams for love behind you A loss of what you could do!
Become a role you think's new, while Thinking you could stay true To the things in youth you outgrew Yet need to feel about you
Fell victim to a vast ruse Know their hopes cannot prove Your worth to meet them. Who knew? Compromise becomes you!
