Look at me now, not the wall flower you made me
I climbed out of that box you put me in
Did my 13 years, so much I want to see
Life is sweeter than it ever has been
Herding the masses, kinda like cats
Stirring compassion that didn't last
Your education just wasn't all that
Moving ahead and I'm not looking back
I see those poor kids get on the school bus
Many are grateful for assigned seats
Windows up or down? Creating such a fuss.
Such a drafty ride, turn up the heat!!
Did that really prepare me for life?
Insisting I obey and submit
Did I learn how to be a good wife?
Trauma-based mind-control not a hit...
I like to move forward without looking back
Adolescense was a scary, bad dream
Realised I'm placed in a deck that's been stacked
Some things aren't always what they seem.
