Now I'm seventeen
My school is in the country
Students wear trainers
Read the same magazines
Now I'm seventeen
My school is getting tiresome
Teachers - they're so young
Singling me out
Only like philosophy and after school the time
That's what I call my own, my own time
Nice girls meet nice boys end of school day
While other girls go straight home
Talking 'bout soaps 'n' that
I go home alone
Like it watching the nameless people
Surfing subways, traveling somewhere
Now I'm seventeen
I do not have a t**le
Depend on no one else
Busy being kind
Only like philosophy and after school time
That's what I call my own, my own time
Nice girls meet nice boys end of school day
While other girls go straight home
Talking 'bout soaps 'n' that
I go home alone
And have dinner in my sweet sweet home
Praying again, again and again
I see the same faces in school and they say that I am different
I think it's an honor
I say it's an honor to be different
I can't go their way
Surfing subways, traveling somewhere
Nowhere nowhere ...
Now I'm seventeen... now I'm seventeen.
