Through my time of growing up I can remember how you criticized Maybe school wasn't the thing for me But that's something you never realized You can't take it when things don't go your way My guitar killed you with its sound I hated home, how could I stay? Now there is a better place that I've found You preached at me about what to do And you don't even know where you're going to There's still hope, at least that's what you say Why don't you leave me alone, and I'll leave you alone, okay?
