18

by Chacal   Jan 4, 2006


I've become 18
i am an adult now right?
apparently the number is important
but i am the same than last night
now i can go to jail
now i can go to war
drink alcohol is legal for me
that makes me a man right?
no i am independent
i can do whatever i want
go to the clubs and get wasted
oh yea... such a man right?
now my "mommy" is mom
now my "daddy" is dad
I'm not afraid of anything
I'm supposed to be brave right?
now i don't ask for permissions
now i control my life
but will i be OK?
in the road if i fall?
you called me a man
just for being 18
i call you a kid
for thinking that's the way it is
everyone wants to be an adult
everyone wants to be 18
they ignore what they're getting into
they think they'll be able to pick
to be sometimes an adult
to be sometimes a kid
so you can hide behind your mommy
anytime u fall on your knees
or be a macho man
CZ your in drugs and play with girls
grow up...
grow up kid
the world keep spinning
even the kings fall sometime
heart doesn't see age
remember that love is blind
"I am a man now
i am 18
i can take my own decisions
now i can try everything
i won't listen if i don't want to
i am free like a bird
I'll do whatever i want to
don't try to stop me"
"You say you are a man now
just CZ you are 18
it's so childish from you
you are so naive
go out to the world
and taste reality
I'll see you kissing the dust
I'll see blood in your knees"
