Sure it's a gas

Stuck in an English class

Can't even dream

So it's hard to accept the role you're given

When you're sitting there

Staring at the ceiling

Wishing you were so very far from here

When you're 13

What fors and whys

If he's got it why can't I

You're my queen

And I dream about you when I'm in my bed

And if all of these things are like they said

Then I'd rather be in another scene

When I'm 14

Just not fair

Not getting anywhere

Hard as a stone

They expect us to make it out alone

And they scream at us when we're on the phone

And they lecture us all about routine

When you're 15

Get out of here

You're crowding my tender years

Don't say you see

Cause you've forgotten what's it like to be

And I'm sure that it's changed to some degree

Cries advice ain't never as it seemed

When you're 16

Four years go

You've fallen before you know

You're now of age

And you're thrown in a different cage

And you're faced with another blank page

And I know I don't need to be told
