Whippersnapper - The System lyrics

You never heard a word your father said Until he said, "Goodbye" And now you walk these streets in agony Just looking for the reason why You try to tell me that you've played it safe Lay in wait, looking for your reason to shine And all this talk about intensity, your destiny You're telling me you're going to be just fine I want to believe you But it's too late I want to believe you But it's too late Finally you've come to see That nothing's as it really seems Your broken dreams, your blue skies turn to gray And now you've left me kind of dangling Wondering if ever really felt this way I want to believe you But it's too late I want to believe you But it's too late Say you're going to prove yourself right Say you won't go down without a fight Don't know how "The system " is going to let you live But words alone almost always mean nothing Look in your eyes, I know that you're bluffing Truth be known, I think you never had the will to give Waste away your life, no motivation Waste away your life, no motivation Waste away your life, no motivation now Waste away your life, no motivation Waste away your life, no motivation Waste away your life, no motivation now Now I've learned how to walk away And let you go your separate way Before you drag me down And in between your tears You scream and shout, you're selling out The water is overhead but I won't drown I want to believe you But it's too late I want to believe you But it's too late
