There's something burnin' in me, I gotta let it all out No, I don't wanna be the good boy scout no more Because today I adore "now what now what" Something different from what I've been taught before because I know what you're like, I know what you'll say So now I wanna go and walk a different way You always told me to scrutinize, watch for lies There's other people I have to see with my old eyes these years With your hands over me, warm, shelter, emotionally steady So now I'm ready to choose my side A side that's slightly different from yours, of course Of course it's something no one in this family adores because The penny won't do but it's not the same When you offer your throne and give them everything I see them turning to me, I'm gonna give 'em a shout You see that shimmer and you know what it's about once more because today they adore "now what now what" something different from what they've been taught before because They don't know what you're like, they don't know what you'll say But they'll place confidence in you and walk your way Me, too, I tell them to scrutinize, watch for lives Hope they'll find people with that shimmer in their eyes like I did I hope they won't quit As from all that I've been taught I'm in next to be the one who's fought And as I turned my back on you it's their turn that will place me To the other side of this emotional fight The penny won't do but it's not the same When you offer your throne and give them everything And I turn, too And I turn to you The penny won't do but it's not the same When you offer your throne and give them everything
