my mom and dad say i'm not right
why can't they see that i have tried
i never meant to turn out wrong
my fear of failure is so strong
i have to shout there is no doubt
that everything was simpler in the past
i have to shout there is no doubt
that everyday is harder than the last
i'm not cut out for nine to five
just hear my voice, look in my eyes
i work as hard as anyone
yet crucified for having fun
