Now I'm seventeen   My school is in a country   Students wear trainers   Read the same magazines      Now I'm seventeen   My school is getting tiresome   Teachers they're so young   Singling me out      Only like philosophy & after school the time   That's what I call my own… My own time   Nice girls meet nice boys end of school day   While other girls go strait home   Talking 'bout soaps n' that      I go home alone   Like it watching the nameless people   Surfing subways, travelling somewhere      Nowhere...      Now I'm seventeen   I do not have a title   Depend on no one else   Busy being kind      Only like philosophy & after school the time   That's what I call my own… My own time   Nice girls meet nice boys end of school day   While other girls go strait home   Talking 'bout soaps n' that      I go home alone   And have dinner in my sweet home   Praying again… Again & again   (& again & again…)      I see the same faces in school & they say that I am different   I think it's an honour   I say it's an honour to be different   I can't go their way      Surfing subways, travelling somewhere      Nowhere... Nowhere… No no      I go home all alone   And have dinner in my sweet sweet home   Praying again… Again & again   (& again & again…)      Now I'm seventeen   Now I'm seventeen
