I'm 17
But I'm not a legal man
I'm left to puzzle out your adult world
The best way I can
I can't look to you,
A world clawing for security
If I have to be like that
I'll keep my immaturity
You pay more for insurance costs
Minor one day, man the next
A whole new twist in a well-worn text
Buy guns, have s**
It helps cover the shaft
As an added bonus
Look forward to the draft
You pay more for insurance risks
But for now I'm 17
And I salute your mixed up laws
The more I look
The more I laugh at all the flaws
Don't take a chance on me, society
Make sure I can't buy booze
I don't want it anyway
So guess what, guys
You lose
But I'm not a legal man
I'm left to puzzle out your adult world
The best way I can
I can't look to you,
A world clawing for security
If I have to be like that
I'll keep my immaturity
You pay more for insurance costs
Minor one day, man the next
A whole new twist in a well-worn text
Buy guns, have s**
It helps cover the shaft
As an added bonus
Look forward to the draft
You pay more for insurance risks
But for now I'm 17
And I salute your mixed up laws
The more I look
The more I laugh at all the flaws
Don't take a chance on me, society
Make sure I can't buy booze
I don't want it anyway
So guess what, guys
You lose
