don't let anyone tell you
you better grow up soon
or face the consequences of 
a life not planned out.

that's exactly what you need
i'm here to tell you leave
the [bad word] you've been taught 
behind and find out for yourself

that work is slavery
and it makes you a slave.
and i know it's easy for
somebody like me to say.

but i dropped that [bad word] life
and i don't regret the bridges that i burned,
mistakes i made;
they're what i learned from.

yes, you've gotta pay the rent
and feed yourself and then
pay all the bills and taxes 
'til you're ready to explode

and kill yourself and those
who get in your way.
don't misunderstand me-
i'm just trying to remind you that 

your life is not tv
and things don't just work out;
most of the time you're miserable.

the american dream is a big [bad word] lie;
a wild goose chase.
you're here to make the richest six percent a little richer.

don't you want something better?
don't you want something that lasts?
they're not your friends- 
they're your masters
and they don't care if you live or die.

you've gotta get out on your own.
you've gotta get out of this stupid town
and try to live for once instead of just existing.

and i guarantee that pretty soon you're
gonna see that things aren't
half as good or as bad as they used to seem
now that you're a thorn
in the side of society;
now that you're part of the problem; [bad word] of a system that keeps you down, steals your money and your hope and then smacks you around.

don't you want to get out of this town? 
don't you want to get out of this [bad word] life?
