they told me what to do
did'nt really learn anything
except another rule,
prisoner of youth
part genius-part fool
I read it in the paper
I saw it on the news
that even tho I'm a kid
they'll give me the noose,
prisoner of youth
selfish politican-i'll never vote for you
I'm not even smart yet
<you> don't even know my skills
I feel like a target
police-they shoot to kill,
prisoner of youth
are the laws for me? or you?
Internet crimes
most are about me
what does you money matter
when you make our rivers bleed?
prisoner of youth
I plant a new tree
I can't go here
I can't see that
My 18ths near
from small cage-to large trap,
prisoner of youth
I'm learning fast
It came n went
I'm still just me
another day spent
another tradgedy,
prisoner of youth
don't tell me how to be me
Now i'm in your system
boy is it grand
just three more years
and i'll really be a man,
prisoner of youth
drinking in the sand
Then when I'm 25
I'll really be older
enough to cut my insurance
and give me a special folder,
prisoner of youth
always wanting to be older
And now that I'm 30
what has become
of all those dates n names that you taught me
James Garfield,Civil,American-Indian-World War One ?
prisoner of youth
living days as they come
Prisoner of youth
live your life
always see the world
thru a childs eye
prisoner of youth
till the day you die
2001.
