You
know times have changed
But it's still strange to be 13
and feel so alone
In your bedroom at home
Staring out the window
Watching all the time go
Right by you
You got soccer practice
You got student elections
You start thinking about girls
Getting these little erections
The kids still don't have a radio station
They can believe in what the kids do
Believing, robbing and stealing
Cause it feels real
It gives the kids
something they can believe in
You know, it ain't easy being a kid
Tryin' to grow up in a modern world
Tryin' to think of what they did
You can say, hey, hey world
Hey, hey world
And the time's going so fast
I don't know if I'm gonna last
Hey, hey world
Hey, hey world
No one said life is fair
You can find it anywhere,
so I'm saying
Hey adult world,
this is a message to you
Your kids are growing up
with nothing to do
An abort kid is a dangerous kid
Did you see it on the news?
Did you see what they did?
Yeah, they walked right into the school
They had the guns under their jackets
These kids were sick of
being picked on
That's why they decided
to fucking pack it
Yeah, Joey's suicidal
Shady's pregnant
She doesn't want to tell her parents
She's gonna get an abortion
Her boyfriend's parents are hippies
Listen, they take care of her men
Shady's fucking miserable
She's 14, living in a world of shit
Hey, hey world
It happens all the time
Hey, hey world
Being a kid's not a crime
You're gonna fuck up sometimes
So parents, don't be so hard
I'm saying, hey, hey, hey, world
Hey, hey, world
Don't act like you know
what's been going through
It was different for you,
it's a new world
That's why I'm saying,
hey, hey, world
Hey, hey, world
You gotta let these kids
figure it out for themselves
Don't be too hard on them
That's why I'm saying, hey
Hey parents
Think about your fucking kids
Remember when you were 10
All the stupid shit you did
You were trying to figure it out
Trying to figure out
Who you were
What's important is your life, man
It's a different scheme
when you're one of them
Be a one of us,
you're the part of the problem
You're a part of that fucking
miserable solution
That we call life
