The line that divides good and evil will, now and forever, be blurred.


You wanna make a difference
Wanna make a change
But how can you do that
When your just the same
As any other teenager
Stupid, reckless, and naive
You only care for yourself
You have no desire to please

Your not like them you say
Never have been and never will be
Alright then
Prove it to me

Your not going to go with the flow
Be another average teen
Your gonna be the star of the show
Your gonna like your dream

You won't be left behind
Get lost in a crowd
You'll be gentle and kind
No need to be loud

You won't do anything stupid
Drive drunk, or do drugs
I'm trying to believe
Your not like that little thugs

You won't be reckless
Get pregnant at fifteen
You won't be stupid
And have to throw away yuor dream

You'll have the sense
Not to walk alone
You'll have enough knowledge
Not to be danger prone

You won't give up
Won't drop out of school
You'll try your best
To not act like a fool

Your gonna chase your dreams
Reach for the sky
Never ever question
The reason why

Your not gonna be like
Every other teen
I believe that now
Now I see

I don't want to be like a teenager as they society sees us. I wanted to express that I know I will not choose that path.
