 Struggling with 17? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

now i'm seventeen
my school is in the country
students wear trainers
read the same magazines
now i'm seventeen
my school is getting tiresome
teachers-they're so young
singling me out
only like philosophy
& after school the time
that's what i call my own time
nice girls meet nice boys
end of school day
while other girls go
straight home
talking 'bout soaps'n' that
i go home alone
like it watching
the nameless people
surfing subways,
travelling somewhere
"...nowhere..."
now i'm seventeen
i do not have a title
depend on no one else
busy being king (to myself)
only like philosophy
& after school the time
that's what i call my own time
nice girls meet nice boys
end of school day
while other girls go
straight home
talking 'bout soaps'n' that
i go home alone
and have dinner in my sweet home
praying again, again & again
i see the same faces in school
& they say that i am different
i think it's an honour
i say it's an honour
to B different
i can't go their way

surfing subways,
travelling somewhere
"...nowhere..."
i go home alone
and have dinner in my sweet home
praying again, again & again
"...peace..."
now i'm seventeen
now i'm
"...seventeen..."
