Not Another Statistic

You look at me, And think you see Another stereotypical teen Who drinks, gets high, And tries to make life easy, But you're wrong. That’s not me. I refuse to let the world take over and control my mind, And I refuse to do the drugs that kick me from behind. I’m not going to ruin my life with friends that teach me wrong. When they start drinking I wont go along. I’ve seen what its done, and how it’s changed the people around me And I’ve decided that's someone I don’t want to be. I want to have a family and a life full of prosperity. I want my children to grow up and have a life of variety. So to keep from all this confusion and have a dream that is realistic I wont take the drugs or drink alcohol And avoid being another stupid statistic.
