I have just turned twelve years old |
| [00:08.67] |
I'm trying to write a song for school |
| [00:15.16] |
And I better practice hard today |
| [00:21.78] |
If I'm gonna be a rock'n'roll star some day |
| [00:28.52] |
My teachers never knew how to take my plans |
| [00:34.06] |
But that's alright cause they could never understand |
| [00:41.27] |
They treat you like you're crazy and so |
| [00:45.02] |
They just stand with a grin |
| [00:48.22] |
And they won't let you in |
| [00:51.37] |
Cause "you're strange and absurd" |
| [00:54.98] |
And "you just don't fit in" |
| [00:58.64] |
Oh please, won't you concede |
| [01:11.07] |
I'm only a boy trying to succeed |
| [01:40.03] |
There's people all around me |
| [01:46.08] |
I've got nothing but a microphone |
| [01:52.63] |
I know it's not the usual job but |
| [01:58.87] |
It's the only thing I've ever known |
| [02:04.27] |
I've tried my best to get on with an ordinary life |
| [02:11.28] |
But never excelled in a 'nine-till-five' |
| [02:17.47] |
My part time job thinks I'm crazy, I know, |
| [02:21.66] |
Cause their jokes are on me, |
| [02:24.61] |
Cause they don't understand |
| [02:28.02] |
What it's like to have plans, |
| [02:30.72] |
And work as hard as you can |
| [02:33.87] |
Oh please, won't you concede |
| [02:45.79] |
I'm only a man trying to succeed |
| [03:12.94] |
I'm lifting my head up high |
| [03:19.23] |
But this world keeps pulling my shoulders down |
| [03:24.88] |
I keep trying to wear a smile |
| [03:31.07] |
Though I'm sure the world sees it upside down |
| [03:35.19] |
They pull and drag it to the ground |
| [03:38.04] |
And they leave you feeling thrown around |
| [03:41.11] |
Please won't you concede |
