Listen up to your mother, brother, sister
listen up to your father
listen up to the lord
They apparently know
every single answer,
every fact and figure
in the whole damn world
But there’s something
different today
there’s something
you just want to say
Hey, don’t look down on me
i’m not a big baby
i’m not your mirror anymore
hey, don’t look down on me
with your philosophies
hey, save your dogma
i’ve had enough
Do you know it all? don’t you…
Is your life only what you read today
in the new york times?
is what you read in your
magazines?
is what you read in your books?
Whatever happened to good
old-fashioned experience?
whatever happened to living?
whatever happened to you?
That you need to condescend
no longer my good friend
Hey, don’t look down on me
i’m not a big baby
i’m not your mirror anymore
hey, don’t look down on me
with your philosophies
hey, save your dogma
i’ve had enough
Do you know it all?
no, you don’t…
