Pull the world over my eyes, make me feel secure Before you stomp on everything that I have ever stood for I know your tricks, I know your game, I know your every lure I know you think I could be great with just a few adjustments
Chorus So open your fucking ears and listen to my words Theres nothing you can ever say to change my mind I need to make this clear These words they must be heard I′m only me and I don′t care if you don′t like it
Say the right things all the time, I′ve heard it all before And I don′t need another asshole in my life right now Try to be my everything, my everything and more But everything in my life holds me down and keeps me bored
By now i should have been somwhere or gone to school, or fixed my hair back down tell it to someone else who gives a shit and needs your help
Cos i found what i needed and i don′t need you to tell me how you feel and if i fall you are not the one that has to cope and deal
All my problems are for me
My god look at his tattoos and those earrings he could never get a good job go home and beat your kids so they don′t turn out as bad as me
Cos i found what i needed and i don′t need you to tell me how you feel and if i fall you are not the one that has to cope and deal
All my problems are for me i don′t need your eyes to see i will be what i will be
Stop coming around cause you bother me stupid mutherfucker pull your head out your ass and see what don′t you get, was i stuttering i don′t need to take your shit get away from me
I walk into the room You don′t have to scream I can hear you Bad trip, the needle sticks You get your fix from confrontation I try to make it past I don′t wanna get into it right now Can′t this family have one day To get away from all the pain
And through the night I see the light Shining from the neighbor′s windows I dream of life where I′m safe In a home where I am not alone Some day I will lay me down On the grass where everything is greener It always seems so good on the other side
I′m sick of all the heat You can taste the hate in the air Running through this family, uncomfortably It′s burning me Is anybody there In your eyes there′s nothing to see Just because your dreams have died Don′t drag me down, I′ve still got mine
Chorus
Neighbor boy runs up to me, his eyes all black and blue I say what happened to you boy, he said my daddy flew Off the hook ′cause I was playin′ too loud I guess he couldn′t hear the TV He said son I′m a teach you a lesson And then he .... and then he....
Maybe it′s not so good on the other side Maybe it′s not so good on the other side But it always seems so good, on the other side It always looks so good .... it always seems so good
Silhouettes above the cradle hold me down they won′t let me go the wrong way my mother taught me all the fables, told me how in the end all the sinners have to pay but...
Chorus: I don′t wanna live like my mother i don′t wanna let fear rule my life and i don′t wanna live like my father i don′t wanna give up before i die
He worked so hard his bones are breaking he wore them down but long ago he lost the feeling his good intentions leave me shaking, show me how i don′t ever want to end up like he did and...
Chorus
When i have kids i won′t put any chains on their wrists, i won′t i′ll tell them this there′s nothing in this world that you can′t be if you want it enough
