There's something burnin' in me, I gotta let it all out
No, I don't wanna be the good boy scout no more
Because today I adore "now what now what"
Something different from what I've been taught before because
I know what you're like, I know what you'll say
So now I wanna go and walk a different way
You always told me to scrutinize, watch for lies
There's other people I have to see with my old eyes these years
With your hands over me, warm, shelter, emotionally steady
So now I'm ready to choose my side
A side that's slightly different from yours, of course
Of course it's something no one in this family adores because
The penny won't do but it's not the same
When you offer your throne and give them everything
I see them turning to me, I'm gonna give 'em a shout
You see that shimmer and you know what it's about once more
because today they adore "now what now what"
something different from what they've been taught before because
They don't know what you're like, they don't know what you'll say
But they'll place confidence in you and walk your way
Me, too, I tell them to scrutinize, watch for lives
Hope they'll find people with that shimmer in their eyes like I did
I hope they won't quit
As from all that I've been taught I'm in next to be the one who's fought
And as I turned my back on you it's their turn that will place me
To the other side of this emotional fight
The penny won't do but it's not the same
When you offer your throne and give them everything
And I turn, too
And I turn to you
The penny won't do but it's not the same
When you offer your throne and give them everything
