Lyrics
The American Teenage Anthem
I'm not alone my friends are with me, by myside and I don't need nobody else.
I can do it alone (the way I need it to be) till I die I'll live life all by myself.
All your time was wasted, all your efforts have been thrown away on me.
All I want is to be free.
Do you ever sit and wonder why I lie awake at night pondering in all my wisdom why I can't seem to get it right?
Cause I'm not sure I'm knowing what it is your trying to show to me.
A revision of reverse psychology.
I'm not alone my friends are with me, by myside and I don't need nobody else.
I can do it alone (the way I need it to be) till I die I'll live life all by myself.
All your time was wasted, all your efforts have been thrown away on me.
All I want is to be free.
It may seem I'm made of rubber, so full of rage and apathy.
But get in line and take a number to be the next to eat away at my self esteem
Cause I'm not really knowing what it is that I'm growing up to be.
A victim of white collar monogamy.
I'm not alone my friends are with me, by myside and I don't need nobody else.
I can do it alone (the way I need it to be) till I die I'll live life all by myself.
All your time was wasted, all your efforts have been thrown away on me.
All I want is to be free.
I'm all alone and I wanted to be
My mother cries and my dad is pissed as hell
So now that I'm here it's not what I wanted for me.
Now I'll have to face it... I am all by myself.
Guess your time wasn't wasted, Guess your lessons were learned and applied by me.
and all you wanted was for me.
To not be alone my friends are with me, by myside and I don't need nobody else.
I can do it alone (the way I need it to be) till I die I'll live life all by myself.
All your time was wasted, all your efforts have been thrown away on me.
All I want is to be, all I need is to be, all I got was to be FREE!
