Just Kids

There goes the bell, another day in living hell

My life is like a show and tell

Parents always wanting me to do well

I know life's tough, but this is a little bit much

Always gotta get As, no Bs, don't talk to me about Cs

Starting to believe my life's one giant machine

And the worst thing about it all

Will my parents even be there when I fall?

We're just kids, not robots

We don't have stop and starts

These emotions inside, flashing by seconds at a time

Playback, rewind

Feel I can't talk to you, 'cause you never follow through

It's not all about you, I wanna have fun too

When you shout and scream, you will break our dreams

Feel like I'm on a jumbo screen where everybody's watching me

We don't hear what you say, it's the same every day

Let us be free, let me be me

We're just kids, not robots

We don't have stop and starts

And now our parents got us praying to God

But they're telling us what to ask

Is it your life or ours?

Is it your life or ours?

Is it your life or ours?

I don't care about the marks on the page

I just want you to be proud of me

Things are blurry, can't see

Tryna make everyone happy

But what about me?

What about me? Yeah

We're just kids, not robots

We don't have stop and starts

And now our parents got us praying to God

But they're telling us what to ask

Is it your life or ours?

Is it your life or ours?

Is it your life or ours?
