Its been a long day But as the day goes by ill take it in my stride And find out where my aim in life is going now Now that I've seen through these jaded faded ayes I feel compelled to translate my own melted mind But will you understand my melted mind (Chorus) I've spent eighteen year of my life without any authority To carve in stone my own tithes "Go out and make your mark" Speak your voice they said Ill rise against the grain
It burns in my head Now I seem so far away From the game I feel so afraid But who gave them the right to criticize the little children's minds When all that was on they're minds Was the right to criticize Who gave them the right to criticize To criticize (Chorus) Communities with closed eyes Certainly the ones I despise Can't you seem to realize That we are going to learn from our mistakes
