Hormones Versus Change

Hey kid...?

                      Verbal lashing of a threat to a parent
                               Rebel tee's and skinny legs
                              Darkened ahir darkened soul
                                Peircings to show hurt
                             Growing into a monster,
                      Is what they'll call you, standing on curb,
                             Lives with friends who think the same
                    Music blaring, tearin' through
                          Steeled tongues of what we wish to say 
                  Polished nails and pretentious glamour
                   A rock & roll life rocky like the,
                           Boulders of chips on shoulder
                              Roll like the hell of forfeit,
                             Breaking the law and who won?
                                Throughout halls filled with,
                      trashy lockers, a name is remembered
                             In boycott,How they try to
                          Make us grow up, but never apart
                                  From the rose-colored
                     Eyesight we once had as children
                              How we wish it were again
                             Drugs that are now with
                 Many old names, chances to escape
         The old but new pain, Here's to you troublemaker; with a calm spirit
