Now that I'm a teen,
You must accept that I am grown.
There are no rules that I must follow.
not even from my HOME!


How anyone dare tell me,
what I should or what I shouldn't.
Who did you think you were,
when you told me that I couldn't?


I know my rights!
You can't take them away!
I don't have to listen
to anything you say!


There's nothing you can tell me.
I don't need your advice!
How can you be so dumb,
when I am so wise?


I know what is best for me.
It's my right to have my fun!
I'm only going to be young once.
When I'm old my life is done!


It's anything goes,
I don't need to worry about tomorrow!
Now is my time to party,
to play, to steal, I've no time for sorrow!


This is my body
I'll do with it what I will!
I'll share it with others
until I've had my fill!


I'll drink, I'll drive fast.
I'll even give drugs a try!
I don't have much time
before youth passes me by!


I'll stay out to all hours.
I'll pick my own friends!
I need to have fun
before this world ends!


I don't need your advice,
your love, or direction.
Nothing's going to happen
so I don't need your protection!


I know what I'm doing.
I'm really quite smart.
When I don't go to school
you say, "I'm breaking your heart."


Why can't you accept
that I know my own way!
I'll do what I want,
you've got nothing to say!


I'll have sex without worry
of disease or a child!
I'll live in the moment,
hear the call of the wild!


Bad things happen to others,
not to cool kids like me.
When you're invincible, death and disease
aren't a worry you see?


Where did you go?
I was just talking to you.
I felt something strange happen.
The next thing I heard were the words Code Blue!


Can anyone hear me?
Who turned out the lights?
It's so cold in here
and it's dark as the night.


I take it all back, I don't want my rights.
Give me a chance, I'll listen, I'll try!
Whatever you do
PLEASE DON'T LET ME DIE!


Can anyone hear me?
Hello--Hello!
From the cold and the darkness
there's a silent echo.


I defended my rights
that no one can deny.
THE RIGHT I WISH YOU HAD TAKEN FROM ME
WAS MY RIGHT TO DIE!
