You speak a lot of this
And you say a lot of that
But in the end you're still just human
That's a fact
You say you've been there, you've done that
Then let the youth make their own mistakes

You're trying to protect us from the punches
That you throw yourselves
You expect us to make important decisions
When we're told what to do, say and think for 12 straight years
You tell us to be unique and expressive
But deny us the freedom to do so

You tell us to open doors
The same ones you slam in our face
You criticize our generation
When you're the one that created it
You call us troubled youth, the problem of society
The same society you live in and influence

You ask us why we rebel against authority
Because it's the only way to stay sane in this world
From high Nobility to Celestial bronze
From foolish Frontman to The Young Babe
Rain down like hellfire to keep us contained in our cage
But don't forget...
You're still just HUMAN
