Arrested Development

You want to tell me what to do
But you don't even know yourself
You only want to sit around
Count the dreams upon your shelf
Even though you once said before
How groovy it would be
All you know is all you've ever known
And you learned if from TV

Beat me down cut up my face
Take me to a better place
Find me out and rip me up
On me don't give me up

And you boast of useless knowledge
No one needs to know
And your talking to yourself
Yeah your converse just for show

Even though you once said before
How clearly you can see
All you see is what they want you to see
And you learned it from TV

Beat me down cut up my face
Take me to a better place
Find me out and rip me up
On me don't give me up

They showed me how to make love and make war
They told me be satisfied don't ask for more
They hold me in contempt for fighting for
Ideals what is right right at the core

Your just waiting for your turn
Listen up and then you'll learn
You just want to sit around
Until the day your in the ground, ground, ground
