My old man says success is the measure

Maybe so but i don't need the pressure

Not right now cause i got enough



Teachers tell me i don't lack the brains

Ask if i'm under some kind of strain

Well that's too much and i really can't take it



They all say that i'm not getting younger

And i'd better make up my mind

Man, you'd think i was committin' some kinda crime



'cause i don't know what i want

I don't know what i want

I don't know what i want

But i want it now



When i talk they just don't wanna listen

The they push me to make some decisions

I can't wait and they wonder why



Everyone says i've got no direction

They want me sent to a house of correction

That's too much when i really can't take it



When i try to relieve my frustration

Seems like nothing i can do is right

My mind is aching and i'm sick of being so uptight



'cause i don't know what i want

I don't know what i want

I don't know what i want

But i want it now



All my life they complained that i'm just a dreamer

But i can't make a move when they wound my pride

When they say it must stop they push and pull me

I don't know what to do

And it's like i'm just talking through a cell door

Some one give me a clue



'cause i don't know what i want

I don't know what i want

I don't know what i want

But i want it now

I want it now

Oh, give it to me

Oh, yeah
