*blah blah* means do it twice (blah blah) means do it thrice
well I've got a plan and you've got a plan
something to make us better women and man
but I'll be the first to admit to you
I don't know what the fuck to do
*It seems to me that our good intentions
only give in return*resentment and frustration*
(and it's tearing me up and it's wearing me down
who's gonna save us now)
well I wanna love and I wanna live
but how much more of myself can I give
Yeah I know the answer is much much more
but I always crap out and I don't know what for
*It seems to me that our good intentions
only give in return*resentment and frustration*
(and it's tearing me up and it's wearing me down
who's gonna save us now)
divided we stand together we fall
upper class middle class and lower class
divided we stand together we fall
yellow and brown red white and black
divided we stand together we fall
religion and politics sick of it all
divided we stand together we fall
divided we stand together we fall
well I've got a plan and you've got a plan
something to make us better women and man
but I'll be the first to admit to you
I don't know what the fuck to do
I wanna love and I wanna live

Some people live their life
Based on what they think is wrong or right
No matter if their views are rejected
Others make decisions
Based on what they think is popular
As long as what they say is accepted
Another day to ponder the truth
Another day to lie
I wonder what I'm gonna do
I've got the rest of my life
Our little subculture is full of this bullshit
With everybody shouting to be heard
Isn't it ironic, everybody has an answer
And there hasn't been anything learned
Another day to ponder the truth
Another day to lie
I wonder what I'm gonna do
I've got the rest of my life
I won't be a part of it, I can think for myself
I won't be a part of it, I can think for myself
I won't be a part of it, I can think for myself
I will stand apart from it, I can think for myself
How can something so cliche, something so pathetic
Something so stupid be regarded as poetic
With mum on methadone and daddy on the nod
It's a picture full of death a syringe full of snot
You shoot up, you die. You shoot up, you die
And if your body lives, then you die inside
Another paper, another shot
Is the rust worth the risk, fuck no it's not
Our generation should be smart enough to know
The syringe, the gun, your life you blow
You shoot up, you die, you shoot up, you die
A false sense of security, you shoot up you die.
And now it's too late to change your mind.
Your life is empty, you fill it up with smack
Too much one night you end up on your back
You say you don't care, you're not afraid of dying
Now you're on a respirator and all your friends are crying
And now it's too late to change your mind!
I'm happy being me, are you happy being you?
If you live your life for someone else, you've got alot to lose
Personal identity is something I hold dear
Won't bow to insecurity, I will not live in fear
I'm happy with myself, yeah man, I feel alright
And we can disagree but we don't have to fight
I'm happy with myself, yeah man, I feel alright
And we can disagree but we don't have to fight.
And if you're just so hardcore that you can't take a joke
Then my advice is to lighten up, don't give yourself a stroke
But if making something out of nothing is what you wanna do
Then you can have the headaches... and fuck you
I'm happy with myself, and man, I feel alright
And we can disagree but we don't have to fight
I'm happy with myself hey man, is that alright?
And who told you that you do everything right?
Do what you wanna do to make a better day
Do what you wanna do to find a better way
Do what you wanna do I hope you'll be fine
Do something for yourself while you still have the time.
I'm happy with myself, and man, I feel alright
And we can disagree but we don't have to fight
I'm happy with myself hey man, is that alright?
And we can disagree but we don't have to fight
Fifteen years old and already on your own
A house that isn't happy doesn't feel much like a home
So you take things in your own hands, you're making your own choices
Gave up trying to talk to them cause they wouldn't hear your voice
Fifteen going on forty, but nowhere near grown up
Between a rock and a hard place the situation sucks
You aren't the first to be there, you sure won't be the last
Catch 22, your future shaped by your past
Acknowledge me as a human being
Look inside and find the love
I don't understand the pain I feel
Look inside and find the love
Fifteen going on forty, but nowhere near grown up
Between a rock and a hard place the situation sucks
You aren't the first to be there, you sure won't be the last
Catch 22, your future shaped by your past
You're a Winner, a loser, a glory confuser
Sometimes you wanna be all alone, don't be such a loser
Acknowledge me as a human being
Look inside and find the love
I don't understand the pain I feel
Look inside and find the love
I recognize your struggle I see through your pleading eyes
Camouflaged by an anxious smile your paid identified
It looks like the end of the world is here for you
Now you're thinking about enternal rendezvous
But listen to me please, don't kill yourself today
Be strong, I know you'll pull through someway
It's gonna get better someday you won't have to cry
It's gonna get better you don't have to die.
