My old man says success is the measure
|
Maybe so but I don't need the pressure
|
Not right now cause I got enough
|
|
Teachers tell me I don't lack the brains
|
Ask if I'm under some kind of strain
|
Well that's too much and I really can't take it
|
|
They all say that I'm not getting younger
|
And I'd better make up my mind
|
Man, you'd think I was committin' some kinda crime
|
|
'Cause I don't know what I want
|
I don't know what I want
|
I don't know what I want
|
But I want it now
|
|
When I talk they just don't wanna listen
|
The they push me to make some decisions
|
I can't wait and they wonder why
|
|
Everyone says I've got no direction
|
They want me sent to a house of correction
|
That's too much when I really can't take it
|
|
When I try to relieve my frustration
|
Seems like nothing I can do is right
|
My mind is aching and I'm sick of being so uptight
|
|
'Cause I don't know what I want
|
I don't know what I want
|
I don't know what I want
|
But I want it now
|
|
All my life they complained that I'm just a dreamer
|
But I can't make a move when they wound my pride
|
When they say it must stop they push and pull me
|
I don't know what to do
|
And it's like I'm just talking through a cell door
|
Some one give me a clue
|
|
'Cause I don't know what I want
|
I don't know what I want
|
I don't know what I want
|
But I want it now
|
I want it now
|
Oh, give it to me
|
Oh, yeah
