If you're under 18 you don't have any rights   They force you to conform, plan your whole damn life   By the time your 21 the brainwashing is done   You're sucked into there system there is no return   Look at the world your parents gave to you   Full of hate, full of lies   Look at the way your parents live their lives   By the rules, not by choice   They force traditions on you won't let you be yourself   If you're different from them, they say you'll go to hell   You're locked up in group homes or in juvenile hall   They give you stupid curfews everything's against the law   (chorus)   Take charge of your life you're old enough to know what's right (x2)   Authority's established by instilling fear in you   They tell you that you're powerless there's nothing you can do   Move in with a friend if your parents mistreat you   Start organizing protests with all the kids at school      (chorus)      Don't end up just like them, don't end up just like them!
