If you're under 18 you don't have any rights
  They force you to conform, plan your whole damn life
  By the time your 21 the brainwashing is done
  You're sucked into there system there is no return
  Look at the world your parents gave to you
  Full of hate, full of lies
  Look at the way your parents live their lives
  By the rules, not by choice
  They force traditions on you won't let you be yourself
  If you're different from them, they say you'll go to hell
  You're locked up in group homes or in juvenile hall
  They give you stupid curfews everything's against the law
  (Chorus)
  Take charge of your life You're old enough to know what's right (X2)
  Authority's established by instilling fear in you
  They tell you that you're powerless there's nothing you can do
  Move in with a friend if your parents mistreat you
  Start organizing protests with all the kids at school
  
  (Chorus)
  
  Don't end up just like them, don't end up just like them!
