18 years on and the battles just begun Live your life like a soldier on the run Grow up fast and learn to be a man Now you're just doing what you can [Chorus] And you're only doing what you know So far it's everything you're told You're only doing as you're told How's it feel to be bought and sold Life's more to you than meets the eye You're out to get your slice of life But you don't stop to blink an eye Too numb to even reason why From the start you're taught and told But in the end you're bought and sold And everything that's in between Is wasted time and memories As time goes by you realize You've now become what you despise Too late to change or have a say Your yesterday's a day away
