Verse 1
********
Where did the real world I lived in now go,
did the Planet of the Apes come back to win;
where are all the true friends I used to know,
why do I have to start all over at 13 again?
|
Verse 2
********
When did I ever become so blamed smart,
while everyone else remained really dumb;
are all these rules really just a form of antique art,
how come when I'm around everyone seems so glum?
|
Verse 3
********
I wish just once wished these children would
leave me alone, I don't want to play any more;
maybe I am ready to go it alone if I could;
boy this new world of mine is really a bore.
|
Verse 4
********
Only my new friends understand who I am
they don't criticize me and we are alike
that is why we get together and have a plan
sure they smoke and drink and a cool sight.
|
Verse 5
********
They've asked me to join them to be a friend
but never pushed and it certainly can't hurt
I really don't see where all this will someday end
they laugh but that is all when I say no and flirt.
|
Verse 6
********
It bothers me that mom and dad have changed
they used to really love me so very very much
now my whole life is being just re-arranged
I guess even Heavenly Father has lost his touch.
|
Verse 7
********
So when I go to my room anymore all I do is cry
oh I wouldn't tell this to anyone they don't care
someday's all I really want to do is just die
why doesn't anyone I used to love want to share?
|
Verse 8
********
They say they love me still and invite me to prayer
but I'm too old for all that kid stuff now I am a teen
if my new friends heard about this I wouldn't dare
where has my world gone and only trouble my scene?
|
Verse 9
********
Did the angels really just all leave me alone now to be
and now this different world around me appeared
what happened to my world when all I want is to be me
and why have all my values seemed to have disappeared?
|
Verse 10
********
Maybe it isn't fair like I'm a freak show for all others
even going to church with goody twoshoes is a horror
looking and listening to all these sister and brothers
saying how grown up I've become but then turn and ignore.
|
Verse 11
********
Where really did the world I lived in now go away,
did the Planet of the Apes win and I didn't see;
where are all the real true friends I used to know,
why do I have to start all over again, just to be me?
|
Verse 12
********
Am I really still a human to anyone anymore today,
does anyone anywhere care if I'm even alive and me;
why do I feel like it is only me with all this to say,
why won't others talk, instead all they do is lecture me?
