Society's Child

You made your point and everyone heard
you wished that you were dead
then ya stole a car but ya didn't get far
now they're lookin in your head
The wreckin' crew that totalled you
same one that visited me
they tore apart my dining room
and stole my color TV

YEAH!

I hate to say I told ya so
but hey I told ya so
ya know you are a shining star
but who ya shining for
ya been taken to the limit
but ya always crash and burn
and the only thing I ever asked is
when ya gonna learn

I know myself too well to know you
like you know yourself
this much you know before you go on
knowing someone else
the years make their impressions on us
live and learn and die
if ya think these things are worth your time
I guess they're still worth mine

'Cause you're society's child
I guess ya think you're losing
with your hands tied to the wall
sometimes life's greatest pressures
make you wanna stop and crawl
it's only an obsession
a phase we all go through
and the only real posession
that you have to keep is you

I guess what I am trying to say is
someone's gotta lose
it might be me it might be you
we might just be confused
so live the way ou wanna live
do what you gotta do
don't say I didn't warn you
when it all comes back to you

cause you're society's child
