mom told me not to get into fights unless a just desert
dad told me to think before saying my peace
my friends told me to talk, they wanted to hear.
i think i'll what i want to
mom taught me karma's a queen, coming after criminals
dad taught me not to disobey, cower before all not me
my friends taught me to act out, to do the things i was too afraid to.
i think i'll what i want to
mom told me to love myself before them; no one's worth that pain
my dad told me to love only him; myself and them cannot be worth it
my friends told me, 'screw them'; i'll love who i want to.
i think i'll what i want to
my mom taught me to dress with respect
my dad taught me to dress to impress
my friends taught me to dress not just like the rest.
and you can all just fuck off.
class is over.
