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…
