I Say

They say you need to join the real world They say it's time to grow up They say you better watch your diet They say get a proper job But I won't give in Wear a different skin Won't let them take my smile away Who are "they" anyway? So I say, stop the t-t-talking I'm so sick of empty noises I'm just doing what I'm doing And I don't need no permission from you, no My way is to laugh as I'm falling We're too young to be conforming Get right out of my head Your talking means nothing And that's all you've said I listen to nothing They ask, "When will you get married?" They say you're too young to settle down They ask, "Are you saving for your future?" They say time is running out But I won't give in to that silly spin Won't let them take my smile away Who are they anyway? So I say, stop the t-t-talking I'm so sick of empty noises I'm just doing what I'm doing And I don't need no permission from you My way is to laugh as I'm falling We're young to be conforming Get right out of my head Your talking means nothing Did you hear what I said? They tell you to keep your head down They tell me to stick to the safe ground You can shout all you like, I won't turn around No one's right, I don't give a damn I'll do this my way, I'll do this my way So I say stop the t-t-talking I'm so sick of all these noises I'm just doing what I'm doing And I don't need no permission from you My way is to laugh as I'm falling We're all too young to be conforming Get right out of my head Your talking means nothing Did you hear what I said? Your talking means nothing
