When I speak, it's like no one understands
And I'm left with empty hands
Forever I can't speak
So many things I'll never learn
You can't cross bridges that you've burned
Why is life such an issue in your mind?
Why are the answers to my problems hard to find?
So hard to find
Don't forget to buckle when you fall Beneath the pressure of the seconds
When your life became a screamer
Staring at the sea, things become so small I want movies of my dreams And pictures on my wall
Pictures on my wall
Why is life such an issue in your mind?
Why are the answers to my problems hard to find?
So hardto find
CHORUS
You say that I'm a dreamer, I say you're a non believer
Take out the light
Take out the light Start screamin'
I'm dreaming, I'm a dreamer, No one believes me And you don't either
So tell me what to do
Take out the light
Take out the light
Take out the light, Take out the light start screamin'
To every kid who ever got picked last in gym class (this is for you)
To every kid who never got a date to no school dance (this is for you)
To anyone who's ever been called a freak
This is for you...What? Here we go....
Like the time in school when we got free lunch and the cool kids beat us up (reduced lunch!)
And the rich kids had convertibles and we had to ride the bus (55!)
Like the time we made the baseball team and they still laughed at us (You still suck!)
Like the time that girl broke up with me cuz i wasn't cool enough (TRICK!)
CHORUS
The little things, little things,They always hang around
The little things, little things, They try to bring me down
The little things, little things, They just won't go away
The little things, little things, Make me who I am today
You wanna hate me now
But I won't stop now
Cuz I can't stop now
Like the time Mom went to that institute cuz she was breaking down (I just can't take it!)
Like the car we had that wouldn't start, We had to walk to get around (can i get a ride?)
And that same year on Christmas Eve, Dad went to the store (uh..see u guys later)
We checked his room His things were gone We didn't see him no more (DICK!)
I used to but I'm fed up,
And I can hear the words you say
I wish that you would shut up
I've got responsibility
That is my liability
A menace to society,
At least that's what they say to me,
CHORUS
But tonight, tonight, it's on tonight
I don't want your boring life
And I don't want your 9 to 5
Or anyone to tell me how to live my life
People always tell me not to waste my time
To get a real job and get back in line
You can say I'll never be a millionaire
Tell me this guitar won't get me anywhere
I've got responsibility, that is my liability
I'm questioning authority
They say there's not a chance for me
CHORUS
Your future's no future
Your future's no future
Your future's no future
I control my future
CHORUS
