They say, I say

They say I'm not long for this world,
I say lets have some fun,
They say stop being reckless,
I say I've just begun,
They say respect your elders,
I say respect the young,

They say listen to reason,
I say that song's been sung,

They say you should respect us,
I say respect should be earned,

They say we were the teachers,
I say that they never learned,

They say we fought for our country,
I say we fought for our life,

They say you should get married,
I say who needs a wife,

They say that I am ignorant,
I say that I am brash,

They say I am a parasite,
I say I need more cash,

They say don't hang with this crowd,
I say it's where I belong,

They say we don't like your music,
I say that it's just a song,

They say I look aggressive,
I say I think I look great,

They say labels are stupid,
I say that they're out of date,

They say my hairs too short,
I say it's grown out too much,

They say don't wear an earring,
I say it says don't touch,

They say that I am too cocky,
I say so what's your point,
They say you'll be doing drugs next,
I say no just a joint,

They say it is no smoking,
I say you got a light,

They say we know the answers,
I say they may be right,

They say watch your diet,
I say I already am,

They say I'll die from cancer,
I say that is my plan,

They say I should stop drinking,
I say I need a beer,

They say whatever they want to,
‘Cos what I say they never hear.
