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 1/2 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
