You want to tell me what to do But you don't even know yourself You only want to sit around Count the dreams upon your shelf Even though you once said before How groovy it would be All you know is all you've ever known And you learned if from TV Beat me down cut up my face Take me to a better place Find me out and rip me up On me don't give me up And you boast of useless knowledge No one needs to know And your talking to yourself Yeah your converse just for show Even though you once said before How clearly you can see All you see is what they want you to see And you learned it from TV Beat me down cut up my face Take me to a better place Find me out and rip me up On me don't give me up They showed me how to make love and make war They told me be satisfied don't ask for more They hold me in contempt for fighting for Ideals what is right right at the core Your just waiting for your turn Listen up and then you'll learn You just want to sit around Until the day your in the ground... ground... ground
