A Reason To Yell Back

by XSugarSexSuicideX   Jun 2, 2008


Don't you know I've got a way of looking,
A teenage take on the world,
A reason that I won't listen to you,
The reason I've got no will or worth,
You tell me you're doing what's best for me,
Don't you know how you wrong you are?
I'll tell you what's been happening here,
And you can see, just how far you are.

'Cause my best friend stole my boyfriend,
And my teacher's failing me,
And I lost my best shoes in the lake,
I've got no reason to complain or rant,
And so I lock it all away,
But someday you might just hear me say

I wanna, I wanna be
The one who's up in your face,
Up in your space,
And I'll be
The rebel, yeah, the one who'll set you free,
I'll be, I'll be
Sitting on the running track,
And I'll be the one
In the place where you'll yell at me
Just so that I'll have a reason,
A reason to yell back.

Do you wanna hear some more 'bout the real world
'Cause you really do not have a clue,
I'm a teenager, and I'll show you,
High school's realer than me and you,

'Cause my friends turned to druggies
And we lost our soccer game,
And someone just got drunk in homeroom,
I left my book bag on the bus
My earring fell out of my ear,
And you just wait 'cause someday you might hear

That I wanna, I wanna be
The one who's up in your face,
Up in your space,
And I'll be
The rebel, yeah, the one who'll set you free,
I'll be, I'll be
Sitting on the running track,
And I'll be the one
In the place where you'll yell at me
Just so that I'll have a reason,
A reason to yell back.

Can you see that you were wrong
Can't you tell that I was there
Won't you just leave me alone
I'll take it,
He'll come back to me someday
But first you'll have to go away
Maybe then we'll make it work
I'll fake it,
But until then

I wanna, I wanna be
The one who's up in your face,
Up in your space,
And I'll be
The rebel, yeah, the one who'll set you free,
I'll be, I'll be
Sitting on the running track,
And I'll be the one
In the place where you'll yell at me
Just so that I'll have a reason,
A reason to yell back.
