now Im seventeen

my school is in the country

students wear trainers

read the same magazines

now Im seventeen

my school is gettinng tiresome

teachers-theyre so young

singling me out

only like philosophy & after school the time

thats what I call my own time

nice girls meet nice boys end of school day

while other girls go strait home

talking bout soapsn that

I go home alone

like it watching the nameless people

surfing subways, travelling somewhere

"…nowhere…"

now im seventeen i do not have a title

depend on no one else

busy being king

only like philosophy & after school the time

thats what I call my own time

nice girls meet nice boys end of school day

while other girls go strait home

talking bout soapsn that

i go home alone and have dinner

in my sweet home praying again,

again & again ("…peace…")

i see the same faces in school

& they say that i am different

i think its an honour

i say its an honour to B different

i cant go their way

surfing subways, travelling somewhere

"…nowhere…"

now im seventeen

now im "…seventeen…"

End
