Let me take you into my world   Let me show you about my generation   See, we’re seen as little boys and girls   Just a disgraceful abomination   We never get no say   So I’m speaking out, to defend our name      Well I’m only a teen   But I’m not just a teen   And I’m tired of the way I’m treated   Gonna find my way to freedom   (Problem with that, you gotta problem with that)   Well listen up, ‘cause I know I gotta choice   I’m gonna damn well make it   I know I gotta voice   I’m gonna damn well use it      What will it take to make my voice heard?   What will it take to use my own words?   To prove I’m more than just a teen   Isn't it true that we’re all equal?   Why is it then our fun’s illegal?   Why am I seen as just a teen?      You’ll never know the things I could do   Just let me, I could be someone   Don’t judge me, as I don’t judge you   Don’t bitch at me just because I’m young   Either give me a chance to be myself   Or fuck off, ‘cause I don’t need your help      Well I'm only a teen, but I'm not just a teen   And I'm tired of the way I'm treated   Gonna find my way to freedom   (Problem with that, you gotta problem with that)   Well listen up, 'cause I know I gotta choice   I'm gonna damn well make it   I know I gotta voice   I'm gonna damn well use it      What will it take to make my voice heard?   What will it take to use my own words?   To prove I'm more than just a teen   Isn't it true that we're all equal?   Why is it then our fun's illegal?   Why am I seen as just a teen?      You can try but we won't be silenced   And nothing you can do is gonna change us   You call us twisted, you call us violent   Dysfunctional, but guess who raised us?!   Mom and dads that hate each other   We’re the ones that have to suffer   Abusive fathers who need in prison   Neglecting moms who’d rather see their boyfriend   Alcoholics, single moms   So you see, you’re also wrong   Yet we’re the ones who get the blame   For your actions, for our pain   We’re told that we’ve got freedom   But you vote on how we’re treated   DEMOCRACY MY ASS!      What will it take to make my voice heard?   What will it take to use my own words?   To prove I'm more than just a teen   Isn't it true that we're all equal?   Why is it then our fun's illegal?   Why am I seen as just a teen?      What will it take to make my voice heard?   What will it take to use my own words?   To prove I'm more than just a teen   Isn't it true that we're all equal?   Why is it then our fun's illegal?   Why am I seen as just a teen?      You can try, but we won't be silenced...
