When I was young and I was full of shit
And I didn't know to be ashamed of it
I used to act like I was so hard
Long hair and JNCOs, throwing rocks at cars
I'd do damage to everything in sight
I didn't pay for it, so money weren't on my mind
Instead it was destruction of every kind
Feeling free and high, so goddamn sublime
Then I grew up and I kind of changed
Well, I certainly don't act my f*cking age
But I traded up to Gap khakis and quiet rage
Because now I know how to feel ashamed
Get beat down, you conform
The world don't care who you are
Be anyone but yourself
The world won't tolerate anything else
Get beat down, you conform
The world don't care who you are
Be anyone but yourself
This world won't tolerate anything else
Be anything you want to be
There's no such thing a too big a dream
As long as it fits into the scheme
Created long ago, before we were conceived
They educate and fill our heads with lies
Revisionist stories meant to divert our eyes
Keep us focused elsewhere so we miss the prize
We all play our parts and then we all die
Get beat down, you conform
The world don't care who you are
Be anyone but yourself
The world won't tolerate anything else
Get beat down, you conform
The world don't care who you are
Be anyone but yourself

It's time to grow up and forget your dreams
Jet fuel can't melt steel beams
Grow up and forget your dreams
