Lyrics

Are you standing up? Have you had enough?
Seen enough, can't do anything
Are you still naive? Do you still believe?
You can change the world, you can break their world
It's been far too long, been the same old song
Wanna make it mine, I can't change a thing
So pawn me off all you bastards
Pawn me off to the highest bidder
Pawn me off to the rock stars
And pawn me off to the joker
When mothers cry for their daughter's life
It was you that tied the rope
When every school is a battlefield
Someone's gonna bring a gun
When you sell a fabric identity
And you pit us against each other
It's no wonder so many die so young
It's a pity that others live so long
Yea they conned me hard and I bought it all
Schismogenesis in the shopping mall
And we're just two sides of the same damn coin
We're just fighting cocks and they placed their bets
And they made it good when they lined their chips
They said you are A, they said I am B
So pawn me off all you bastards
Pawn me off to the highest bidder
Pawn me off to the rock stars
And pawn me off to the joker
When mothers cry for their daughter's life
It was you that tied the rope
When every school is a battlefield
Someone's gonna bring a gun
When you sell a fabric identity
And you pit us against each other
It's no wonder so many die so young
It's a pity that others live so long
Well they told me I'm special
And I'm on to great things
Since the day I was born
I've been chasing that dream
I'm reaching for the stars and you can't stop me
If I keep it up it'll all be mine
I'm reaching for the stars and you can't stop me
Gonna get the most out of my life
Graduated in the spring
The hardest part is done
I felt like giving up
I'm not the only one
I'm reaching for the stars and you can't stop me
Working so hard gotta make it mine
I'm reaching for the stars and you can't stop me
Workin' so hard I wanna die
I'm workin' so hard I wanna die
Workin' so hard I wanna die
I want the best life or I wanna die
Do you think that you can save them?
Think you can save them all?
I've lived so many years
I've seen change rise and fall
Used to think I stood for something
But time took that away
Well yea, you think, you're saving the world
but you'll burn it up along the way
What does it say about me?
That I don't talk much at all
Stay in my room on summer nights
And I don't take many calls
What does it say about me?
That I can't see any hope
I've gone full circle in my head
And this is how I cope
You ignore all the old pictures
You act like it never was
With hair down to my neck
And a J clutched in my hand
You think I had it easy
And you think I don't know pain
Well honey, you're young, give it some time
You'll understand me when I'm gone
What does it say about me?
That I don't talk much at all
Stay in my room on summer nights
And I don't answer your calls
What does it say about me?
As I feel our distance grow
You always were a gentle soul
And I can't let you go
When mothers cry for their daughter's life
It was you that tied the rope
When mothers cry for their daughter's life
It was you - you-ou
When mothers cry for their daughter's life
It was you that tied the rope
When mothers cry for their daughter's life
It was you - you-ou
When mothers cry for their daughter's life
It was you that tied the rope
When every school is a battlefield
Someone's gonna bring a gun
When you sell a fabric identity
And you pit us against each other
It's no wonder so many die so young
It's a pity that others live so long
