The Product Is A Teenager

The product is a teenager
I’m not the one
They want me to be
But I hide well
So they can’t see.
I’m a drop in the water
I make rings that spread
I’ll start a riot and
Forget what they said.

I didn’t want this
Everyday’s a pain
I feel so powerless
A feeling that sustains
Comforting walls suddenly fell
And I became one of the
Products they want to sell
But actions have a prize
And these half truths
Are only white lies

Obsessed with perfection
That’s what they are
I’m not a possession
Another jewel in their crown
I’m soaked in their dreams
And I’m about to drown
And it’s their hands
That are pulling me down

They judge us on things
They want us to learn
While we are waiting for
Our lives to take a turn
You can’t say what you want
Not in that tone
Why do they act like
The future is set in stone
Put your opinions on a shelf
And trust no one
No one but yourself

My hopes are ancient
My dreams are history
my old life is past
How could they do this to me?
Am I just a robot?
A part in this mess?
I wish to get out
They couldn’t care less
I don’t want to grow up
But in the end of this fight
I’m to one who gives up
