16

I feel had
Where's the reckless spirit I'm supposed to have
That was crap
Your world's joke making me choke
I'm so mad
I thought my life would be like a John Hughes film
I feel had
Don't tell me at sixteen you were stoked
Cause I'm a man and I'm a joke
You told me 16 had a girl
16 had a car
16 made me wise
But now I'm 16 and I see that's all wrong
But now I'm 16 and I see that's all wrong
At 16 I'm just lucky to be alive
What's the cost
I can't move why do I feel lost
Piss me off
Time is my schedule, school's my boss
There's no love lost
Because there is no love got
Piss me off
Don't tell me being 16 was a joy
Cause I'm a man and I'm a boy
You told me 16 had a girl
16 had a car
16 made me wise
But now I'm 16 and I see that's all wrong
But now I'm 16 and I see that's all wrong
At 16 I'm just lucky to be alive
Where's my girl
Where's my car
Where's my record deal
Make me a star
Where's my spirit
Where's my team
I can't be jaded yet cause I'm only 16
I can't be jaded yet cause I'm only 16
I can't have seen it all I'm only 16
I can't have seen it all I'm only 16
