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
