since you've been fifteen you've been confused,

at that age it's so hard to just be oyu

you've got your friendsa your records,

the only thing that makes you feel whole

you're trying to figure it all out

sometimes you realise the fight is oh-so futile

someone else is telling you you're wrong

(chorus)

you know you're right

but noone seems to listen,

they say you're just a child,

so you turn and fight,

for me that is the only way

to step to what they say is the upper hand,

don't let them take the upper hand

don't let them take the upper hand

You wanna go out and forget the day

go out and just make your life seem real

forget your mom and dad

forget about your job, your home, your school

you take so much shit,

your girl says it's over

you think about giving up

but don't you dare give up without a fight



you know you're right

but no one seems to listen,

they say you're just a child,

so you turn and fight,

for me that is the only way

to step to what they say is the upper hand,

don't let them take the upper hand

never let them take the upper hand

the upper hand
