Well, I never lived through the great depression   Somethimes I feel as though I did   I don't have answers for every single question   But that's okay 'cos, I'm just a kid      Well I've seen pictures of my mother   When she looked exactly like me   And I've seen all my friends running for cover   Running from something they can't see      And it's not easy to get a handle on my life   But I have tried it time and time again      But I still cry just like a baby   And I answer back to feel a little free   And I still fly even though I'm gonna fall   But I'm too far gone to let it get to me      I'm not much like my generation   Their music only hurts my ears   And I don't hide my pain to save my reputation   It's too hard to keep up with these years      And it's not easy to make a habit disappear   But I have tried it time and time again      But I still cry just like a baby   And I answer back to feel a little free   And I still fly even though I'm gonna fall   But I'm too far gone to let it get to me   (I won't let it get to me)
