you can take it all for granted
tell me i throw my life away
tell me to be just like you

as you drag me down every day
i've watched you fight among yourselves
what the hell am i supposed to learn?
all yer speeches on respect
you think it's taken and not earned
things are better now, now i'm on my own
i'll follow what i feel is right, tho ½ the time, i'm wrong
far too late to turn back now, i'll face the world alone
i'll get by from day 2 day, i've got some really great friends there
they don't expect perfection from me, or complain about my hair
(repeat chorus)
..say what you want about me, i'll face the world on my own
