This is not important to me.
I don't care for the square root of 546.
I don't feel alive at the sound of a lecture.
Don't tell me that i'm going to miss
This small piece of hell that you call a school.
It doesn't matter to me whether
I become famous and rich.
That is what success to you is, isn't it?
To have all of the money, and all of the the things.
I just want to be happy and follow my dreams.
Is that such a crime?
What don't you understand?
I won't let you discourage me.
You will not bring me down.
I may be quiet, but that's only for now.
I will paint pictures of vibrance and
Make music that flows.
I will smoke all the cigarettes and
I will never turn up my nose.
I'll be creative beyond your wildest dreams,
And I'll tear up your tyranny right from the the seams.
I will live with what I have and be happier than you.
You have all the things but I have nothing to lose.
