Wake up
It's early morning
Fall in love
With the shit town you were born in
Make friends
With kiddies you can't relate to
And try play it cool in the schoolyard
So that nobody hates you

It's for your own good
Won't have you misunderstood

Oh, it's about time
You started to try
A little harder, don't you think?

Oh, it's about time
You started to try
A little harder, don't you think?

Oh, it's about time
You started to try
A little harder, don't you think?

It's about time

And you're swell
Just as God made you
But we could brace your teeth
And change a thing or two
And it's a long road
Out on your own
Run with the pack
Baby don't do it alone

It's for your own good
Won't have you misunderstood

Oh, it's about time
You started to try
A little harder, don't you think?

Oh, it's about time
You started to try
A little harder, don't you think?

Oh, it's about time
You started to try
A little harder, don't you think?

It's about time

You wanna talk about what hurts bad
And where you'd rather sink than swim
Somebody throw a punch again
And didn't catch your name
