  • Young and free, something you'll never be
    A childhood's end, it's lunacy
    Pure dictation, they don't listen
    And you're just waiting for what you're missing
    Welcome to your nightmare
    You just can't walk away
    It's time for you, to choose, your fate
    You just can't let it lay
    Welcome to your nightmare
    Your whole life's on the way,
    Today
    You're no good, misunderstood, A.I.R.
    All their hopes and visions, of what they want you to be
    Crucial times, made up minds, A.I.R.
    So high and mighty, though much too blind to see
    Who are you gonna live your life for?
    Conformity will trap you like a locked door
    Independence means owning your decisions
    Authority will put your soul in prison
    Fight, or go insane, there's no one else to blame
    Stop, their influence, you can't give them a chance
    Break, right through the wall, that separates us all
    Start, your second life, without their hands in sight
    You got your pride, you got your visions
    Don't subside, don't ever give in
    Don't compromise just keep on grinning
    The games they play you just keep on winning
    Keep on winning
    Keep on winning
    Keep on winning
    A.I.R. Writer/s: CHARLIE L. BENANTE, DANIEL ALAN SPITZ, FRANK JOSEPH BELLO, JOSEPH A. BELLARDINI, SCOTT IAN ROSENFELD
