Sixteen years lookin' up at the blackboard

I don't even know how to read

I got pills to make the hamster wheels turn faster

But the monkey's in the driver's seat

Now I tear myself apart about everything at once

I miss my good ole rockin' self esteem

You can take out the wax and tie me to the mast

I gotta hear the sirens scream, don't listen to me

I just need a good night's sleep

And you keep me up all night

Can't talk right, I'm fallin' in my clothes

And even though I'm feelin' like death

I can't be upset 'cause I finally know

You can document the teenage wildlife

Psychoanalyze the modern man

You can classify 'em all by blood type

But you're never gonna understand

What if panic were the right reaction

To the anonymity of youth

I'm too sleepy for the main distraction

Downtown lights could never glow like you

I'm goin' to sleep

Then you keep me up all night

Can't talk right, I'm fallin' in my clothes

And even though I'm feelin' like death

I can't be upset 'cause I finally know

I don't wanna be an animal (Oh, no)

But you're makin' this hard for me

But I don't wanna be an animal (Oh,no)

But you don't wanna go

And you keep me up all night

Can't talk right, I'm fallin' in my clothes

And even though I'm feelin' like death

I can't be upset 'cause I finally know

(Yeah, I finally know)

(Yeah, I finally know)

(Yeah, I finally know)
