lyrics

I see it as a girl splayed out before me
I see it as a rule that I’m afraid to break
There’s a glass wall of restraint in my face
Saying you can’t have it: You can look, but you can’t touch.

My life is just a walk through a hallway of plexiglass
And out of the windows I see pictures of the nineties
And kids in the street, riding skateboards, no worries
And you can’t have it: You can look, but you can’t touch.

And all this restraint stops me from doing what looks fun
Been jumping off the bridge all ‘cause society told me too
And if I conform I will lose what’s special inside me
But if I don’t society will reject my application for a normal guy.

The kids in the movies always seem so free
Where’s the hours of homework and sections where they watch T.V.?
The kids in the movies always go to parties
And they don’t get fucked up but they always seem so happy.

Our generation has a lack of spirit
We don’t cause any problems, but look at the sixties
And discontented youth lets fuck things up
All hyped on hormones, no worries
And we can have it if we realize rules don’t exist.

And all this restraint stops me from doing what looks fun
I’ve been jumping off the bridge all ‘cause society told me too
And if I conform I will lose what’s special inside me
But if I don’t society will reject my application for a normal guy.

The kids in the movies always seem so free
Where’s the hours of homework and sections where they watch T.V.?
The kids in the movies always go to parties
And they don’t get fucked up but they always seem so happy.
