In your life is a void, gaping like a star-struck teen
You say you have everything that’s dear
You think that these are your best years
And your life isn’t whole, even when you turn sixteen
Your parents think you’re just so great
You think they need to be easier to hate
Why should you wait?
Don’t hesitate, just drink until your stomach aches
Why should you wait?
Everyone is turning
Into middle-aged drunks
Before my eyes
The generation’s falling
Into constant trips of narcotics
Before my eyes
Kids are having babies
And turning into grandparents
Before their time
In your life is a void, gaping like a star-struck teen
You need to do everything at once
You can’t explain why waiting’s not enough
And your life isn’t whole, even when you turn eighteen
Your parents think you’re just a waste
You think they shouldn’t have allowed your haste
Why didn’t you wait?
You hesitate, the gun up to your head’s too late
Why didn’t you wait?
