  • I'm just fifteen and here's my story
    It ends too soon, for that I'm sorry
    No warning sign
    Next thing I'm lying in my blood in the rain
    Just another TV show distracts me
    They're laying flowers where they shot me

    I don't know what it is I gotta do
    Got lost on the way

    Oh yeah, it's chaos from the top down
    It's just another lot of cop-outs
    They're saying nothing
    Power tripping egos, yet there's no change
    Oh yeah, it's chaos from the top down
    And now I see I've just been shot down
    I got no voice, I got no choice
    You don't hear one word I say, yeah

    Gonna rob another home
    And steal another phone
    And lose my soul now
    Yeah, lose my soul now
    Get outta my brain to numb the pain
    What's left to say now?
    What's left to say now?
    Too much, too little
    Too young to stand it
    Got nothing to prove
    Got nothing to lose
    Can't understand it
    I take my time
    Next thing I'm lying in my blood in the rain

    Yeah, yeah, yeah
    Yeah, yeah, yeah

    Too much, too little
    Too young to stand it
    Got nothing to prove
    Nothing to lose
    Just can't stand it, oh no
    Have you got my number?
    You don't know me
    Have you got my number?
    Yeah? But you don't own me

    Oh yeah, it's chaos from the top down
    It's just another lot of cop-outs
    They're saying nothing
    Power tripping egos, yet there's no change
    Oh yeah, it's chaos from the top down
    And now I see I've just been shot down
    I got no voice, I got no choice
    You don't hear one word I say, yeah Writer/s: Kelly Jones
