Upper Hand
since you've been fifteen you've been confused,
at that age it's so hard to just be oyu
you've got your friendsa your records,
the only thing that makes you feel whole
you're trying to figure it all out
sometimes you realise the fight is oh-so futile
someone else is telling you you're wrong
(chorus)
you know you're right
but noone seems to listen,
they say you're just a child,
so you turn and fight,
for me that is the only way
to step to what they say is the upper hand,
don't let them take the upper hand
don't let them take the upper hand
You wanna go out and forget the day
go out and just make your life seem real
forget your mom and dad
forget about your job, your home, your school
you take so much shit,
your girl says it's over
you think about giving up
but don't you dare give up without a fight
you know you're right
but no one seems to listen,
they say you're just a child,
so you turn and fight,
for me that is the only way
to step to what they say is the upper hand,
don't let them take the upper hand
never let them take the upper hand
the upper hand

Ok class ok everybody settle down
Everybody settle down
Um as you all know we've been working
Real hard on getting our school essays done
Does anybody have theirs to read first?

Mr. Evans my essay is ready
[Teacher]
Ok everybody Sammie has the floor

When I grow up
I wonder if people will be more afraid
To cry than they are to die
Will I be able to see a rainbow
In a smog-filled sky?
Will there be any trees alive?
If not, how will the planet survive?
Will the Internet have a web-site at
