If you're under 18 you don't have any rights

They force you to conform, plan your whole damn life

By the time your 21 the brainwashing is done

You're sucked into there system there is no return

Look at the world your parents gave to you

Full of hate, full of lies

Look at the way your parents live their lives

By the rules, not by choice

They force traditions on you won't let you be yourself

If you're different from them, they say you'll go to hell

You're locked up in group homes or in juvenile hall

They give you stupid curfews everything's against the law

(Chorus)

Take charge of your life You're old enough to know what's right (X2)

Authority's established by instilling fear in you

They tell you that you're powerless there's nothing you can do

Move in with a friend if your parents mistreat you

Start organizing protests with all the kids at school



(Chorus)



Don't end up just like them, don't end up just like them!
