I've no respect for authority
I don't expect the kids to understand
Least of all when it's comin' from me
I hate my food when it comes from the man
I never meant to live this life
I never meant to play this role
I don't want to sell them out
I just want to give them rock n' roll
They blindly follow
Where we blindly lead
I just want to show them truth and light
I just want them to love me
I've no respect for the useless
Least of all my life
I'm prepared not to use it
No, now that's a lie
I wasn't born to waste it
Every breath is a gift
Even when I'm used up and wasted
I still want to live
Been in this college town for too many years
I'm too tired, I'm cynical
Take me away from here
