I'm sick of it Sick of hearing Your generation this Your generation that We were never that lazy I walked uphill both ways So what Do you want pity Do you want me to be you If not then why do you compare me to you I hate gym class but I like helping people What's wrong with that You say "Why not do both" Because I don't like both I'll join the military just to get away Maybe I'll die honorably You'll be proud I doubt you'll be sad though Not as sad as the people I helped along the way Tomorrow might be another day So what Why should I do anything tomorrow what I can do today Because then I have time I don't have to get it all done at once I can pace myself Take a moment to just breathe Then comes the onslaught Why are you so lazy Why can't you do one thing without complaining When I was your age... Why don't you ever stop talking Stop muttering to yourself Stop singing in public Stop embarrassing me SHUT UP ****** my tiny voice of I'm sorry I didn't mean to Please I'm sorry Tears stream fast Marks flood my cheeks with red stain It makes me sick That you think to be good at anything I have to be you Or like you I'm sick of it
I hear so many people say things like this, parents, teachers, random adults while I was at work. Why is it so necessary to be like you when we are supposed to learn from your mistakes?
