When I was I child all the elders gave advice,

They would tell me to be free then tell me how to live my life;

From all of this confusion, yea I feel I’m being used,

Put the noose around my neck I got nothing left to lose;

Chorus:

I don’t know when,

I lost faith,

To believe in you;

And I don’t know when,

I will die,

It’s not for you to choose;

Growing up in life all my lessons I learned free,

Then I’d teach them to the bible thumping kids I used to see;

Using all my knowledge, yea it may get me through college,

It will never put me in the state of mind I want to be;

Chorus
