When i was a kid, i've seen so many things you wouldn't believe
i've reached the mountain tops and slept with the trees
i watched the stars turn to clouds over the night
now i'm older and still don't know whats right
do i go out and get a car and drive oh so far?
will i be satisfied working from 9 to 5
i heard on the grape vine that money is the way to go
cause what else in this world do you have to show?

if thats the truth will these cars please run me down
if thats the truth will this cop please gun me down
if thats the truth then you're better off without me
cause im not settling for this mundane way of living

when i was in school i didn't have too many friends
when the days ended, we gathered up and followed the wind
you can call us rebels but i swear to you we followed the rules
except when i ditched class with this orange haired girl, she was cool
you'll look at us and judge with your eyes
you see crime and destruction that we're ruining our lives
well me and my brother are trying to change the world with our zines
he's 20 yrs old and working on his PhD

me and my friends all wear similar things
me and my friends don't care cause we're living
me and my friends wear jewelry in our nose
dont look at me because i wear the same clothes

our lifestyles might change over time. my friends have so much to do and so do i. relationships go away but i swear i want you to stay. like that time i gave you my heart. or families being torn apart.

so when i'm out on these streets all alone
with a dirty bag on me everywhere i go
i look up at the clouds way out in the sky
the next time i see you i just might say "Hi"
