I'm young, I know that. But am I too young?

What even defines what is young and what is old?

I can be philosophical, I can be smart

I can give advice to adults who aren't.

But does it really mater? I'm not old enough

I'm not supposed to know about philosophy stuff

I'm not supposed to preach about equality

I'm not even supposed to know what I wanna be

They'll tell me I'm just wasting my time when I try to talk

Nobody'll listen cause supposedly I'm too young

But what about those adults who don't know what they're on about

I can't explain to them why they're oh-so wrong

Nobody cares about what I have to say

Well fine, okay, have it your way

Go on and talk about things you don't know

Like telling one how to live their life, sure that'll show them

But the thing is you have no idea

What I try to preach is real

I know what I'm talking about

And when I don't I shut my mouth

That's one thing people should learn from me

To keep it quiet and don't be mean

Keep your nasty thoughts to yourself

While you worry about yourself

What does it matter what other people do?

They aren't bothering or hurting you.

Not everyone follows your religion

I'm a deist and I'm still livin'

pout your opinion while standing up for yourself

Other than that keep it to yourself

Don't even talk to me about "straight pride"

LGBT+ have been threatened for years at a time

I don't understand what's so wrong about it

Oh, God told you so it must be right.

But if I'm not mistaken, Jesus said love your neighbor

Even if they're gay, did he fucking stutter?

I'm not religious, so I wouldn't know

But I have enough knowledge to know that you're wrong.

The bible was written thousand of years ago,

The world has changed

People change

Our society is different

Why don't you understand?

You need to understand...
