They'll say you're worthless until you've made it
Hold you down til you're sedated
Fill your lungs til satiated
And watch all your dreams fade away
They'll tell you what you do, will never work
Go to school, get a job, make it work
Work hard so you don't have to work
And put off tomorrow what you can do today.
They'll form their own opinions
Hope they never lose context
Reach their own conclusions
No matter what comes next.
I was meant to live for so much more
But I lost myself
Though the road may be long
Persevere,
Prove them wrong
It's character through all that is imperfect
