I know I won’t seein’ my girl for awhile
I know there’ll be no sleep tonight
And nothing’s going to turn out right
I just wish tonight it might
I hope these words come out right
I hope I don’t explode under the pressure
Let’s just go out tonight
Let’s not worry about the stormy weather
All these thoughts that cross my mind
I haven’t seen you in a long time

My mind is so confused by conflicting points of view
Some say “don’t” and some say “do”
No matter what I do it never stops
So stop yelling in my ear ‘cause it’s up to the top

Never buy into what they say
Do things your own way
Never let them violate you
You know where you stand
You don’t belong there
You know you can do much better
Don’t care what they say
I’m behind you all the way

Never comply, never conform
For nobody’s sake

They try to hypnotize you
They try to buy you
Never buy into it
Never let it phase you
You know where you stand and its not with him
You know where you stand and it’s not with him

Never do what they say
OBEY!

Now listen hear, you gotta shape up
You gotta be the best
(Don’t fail me now)
You’ll never win if you are lazy
So just get off your ass
Young man, young man
Don’t you, don’t you be late for class!!

See I just don’t have time
To listen to conflicting points of view
So I’ll shut my ears
And listen to what I’m telling me to do
