"The American Teenage Anthem (T.A.T.A.)" Lyrics

I'm not alone
My friends are with me
By my side and I don't need nobody else
I can do it alone
The way I needed to be
Till I die
I live life all by myself

All your time was wasted
All your efforts have been thrown away on me
All I want is to be free

Do you ever sit and wonder
Why I lie awake at night
Pondering in all my wisdom
Why can't I seem to get it right ?
Cause I'm not really knowing
What it is that you're trying to show to me
A revision of reverse psychology

I'm not alone
My friends are with me
By my side and I don't need nobody else
I can do it alone
The way I needed to be
Till I die
I live life all by myself

Cause all your time was wasted
And all your efforts have been thrown away on me
And all I want is to be free

It may seem I'm made of rubber
So full of rage and apathy
But get in line and take a number
To be the next to eat away at my self esteem

Cause I'm not really knowing
What it is that I'm growing up to be
A victim of white collar monogamy

I'm not alone
My friends are with me
By my side and I don't need nobody else
I can do it alone
The way I needed to be
Till I die
I live life all by myself

Cause all your time was wasted
And all your efforts have been thrown away on me
And all I want is to be free

I'm all alone
And I wanted to be
My mother cries
My dad is pissed as hell
So now that I'm here I don't want it for me
Guess I'll have to face it....
I'm all by myself

Guess your time wasn't wasted
Guess your lessons were learned and applied by me
And all you wanted was for me....

To not be alone
My friends are with me
By my side and I don't need nobody else
I can do it alone
The way I needed to be
Till I die
I live life all by myself

Cause all your time was wasted
And all your efforts have been thrown away on me
And all I want is to be
All I need is to be
All I got is to be free
