Problem with Authority

I got a problem with authority

That's what my daddy always said to me

You can't tell me shit

Won't listen to it

Feel like I've fallen by the wayside

Got nothing left, not even pride

So who's gonna save me?

And who's gonna raise me?

I'm far from home

With no place to call my own

And who's gonna lead me?

And who's gonna teach me the things to say?

So I don't push the ones I love away

Mama told me to stop calling

Said she's got work in the morning

Everyone's got their problems, it's not her job to solve them

Aunt called me the other day

Told me to stop wasting my life away

So who's gonna save me?

And who's gonna raise me?

I'm far from home

With no place to call my own

And who's gonna lead me?

And who's gonna teach me the things to say?

So I don't push the ones I love away

And the scars and tears I've held for all these years

I've had enough

You beat me down and I decided not to give up

For you to make me feel so small

I'm done, I'm tired, I've been through it all

So who's gonna save me?

And who's gonna raise me?

I'm far from home

With no place to call my own

And who's gonna lead me?

And who's gonna teach me the things to say?

So I don't push the ones I love away
