Since I'm Young

since i'm young, i'm pliable, isn't that right
since i'm young, if you bitch at me i won't put up a fight
since i'm young, you can shove opinions up my ass
since i'm young, i'll do do anything for a laugh

i should comply to all the stereotypes
just you can all be right
suck up to the cool kids' crew
because i wanna be just like you

lose my identity trying to fit in with rest
of the misfits, sitting round drinking and looking their best
but if i forget about my ethics or my morals or whatever
they'll say "act your age!", so i can't win, not ever

so don't judge me by the time i've been alive
'cause you out do me by less than five
if you think you're so good then stop picking on me
because how good were you when you were fourteen

since i'm young, i think only squatters are punks
since i'm young, i'll always take the bottom bunk
since i'm young, i'm two faced and bitchy and can't make mistakes
since i'm young, it's not like anything can be erased

so am i right about all of this
is this what you thought when you were a kid
i don't think so, i know you didn't
so stop treating me like i'm so different

and i'm not saying i'm blaming all of my faults on my age
there's plenty of flaws i got that'll stick with me 'til i die someday
i'm not a perfect person, and i know you're not too
but it's because i'm just a kid that i can be judged by you

so don't judge me by the time i've been alive
'cause you out do me by less than five
if you think you're so good then stop picking on me
because how good were you when you were fourteen
