Adolescent
I didn't understand the rules
The teachers taught me that I was a fool
They couldn't make me understand
What it means to be a man
Now I'm all grown up and I can't complain
I've really got it made but I'm not quite sane
This rite of passage has made me strong
But it took my sense of right and wrong
Well I wanted to know
How a river can form from the cold white snow
And I tried to believe
That there's a God above who's smiling down on me
What is real, and what are all these feelings we feel?
What is true, and which are the lies they're telling me and you
When I go to a party I'm the freak in the corner
Standing alone like he's something other
And in my silence I can hear the chatter
Filling the room but somehow leaving it flatter
See I tried hard to be
The magnet in the center of that gravity
But now I'm pulling away
To a faraway place where I can dream all day
What is pain? And what are all these thoughts in my brain
What is love? Could there be a hell below and heaven above
The teachers taught me that I was a fool
They couldn't make me understand
What it means to be a man
Now I'm all grown up and I can't complain
I've really got it made but I'm not quite sane
This rite of passage has made me strong
But it took my sense of right and wrong
Well I wanted to know
How a river can form from the cold white snow
And I tried to believe
That there's a God above who's smiling down on me
What is real, and what are all these feelings we feel?
What is true, and which are the lies they're telling me and you
When I go to a party I'm the freak in the corner
Standing alone like he's something other
And in my silence I can hear the chatter
Filling the room but somehow leaving it flatter
See I tried hard to be
The magnet in the center of that gravity
But now I'm pulling away
To a faraway place where I can dream all day
What is pain? And what are all these thoughts in my brain
What is love? Could there be a hell below and heaven above
