Lyrics

We don't live until we're twenty, or rich, or free
Or maybe we don't live at all, it's all a myth
Deep in the cage it seems like eternity
No time to think, they all want control of me
Do they lock us up to get us used to the cage?
Used to obeying the nonsense they order?
Or do they fear the anger I've got at my age,
Do they fear it will threaten their precious order?
Forced to waste my youth away and I should be pleased?
I can't play that game no more, let me live!
Spending years blindly learning things we'll forget
And breaking records for how useless they can get
How close I am to finishing, is all that matters
I'm just here to earn my freedom papers
These papers attesting all the time I wasted
I was told parents and employers love them
Now that's what I call twenty years well spent
But no one will ever check if I have them
Forced to waste my youth away and I should be pleased?
I can't play that game no more, let me live!
They love to pretend that they give us a choice
Pretend we're not trapped by parents and laws
They say it's to help, it's to put us to work
They act as if they don't know it doesn't work
Locking us in for the first quarter of our lives
Then they dare to ask, looking us straight in the eyes,
What we want to do and the things we live for
Not realizing we never lived before
Forced to waste my youth away and I should be pleased?
I can't play that game no more, let me live!
Forced to waste my youth away and I should be pleased?
I can't play that game no more, let me live!
