We’re too old to be silly, too young to be mature
Our futures are unknown, everything is left unsure.
School is tough, no time for a break
If you aren’t getting A’s, you’re making a mistake.
Hours are long, sleep is scarce
You’re told “we understand, can’t you see we care.”
These are the best years of your life. Go out and party.
What about school? What about grades?
What about making sure you stay safe?
You’re told to be careful. You’re told to have fun.
Stop telling us what to do.
We’re teenagers don’t you know.
We’re not listening to you.
