Too many people to hold you back
And pin you to the wall
Who the hell are they to say
What's right or wrong in the world today
I've got a half of mind to get up
And smack the next one who tries
To put their weight on me
And pressure me into things I don't buy
And I know there's a better way
Then how I am living today
I broke away the chains that binded me
And I thought of you along me way down
And I'll never be that way again
You see cause I learned my lesson
Well enough yesterday
I spent a lot of time when I was young
Waiting on someone who never really knew me
For who I was or who I could be.
And as the days they turn
The more I see
The more I learn
Forget about the time that's burned
But don't forget the lessons learned
What did your hatred bring
Nothing but terrible things
