Around here we keep our emotions cool
Don't really go to school
Except for me
Darry and Soda want me to be
Something more than this town
Try their hardest to keep me from being brought down
By everything that occurs
Try to keep from getting mad; even when Socs slur
And cuss at you
Cause it won't do any good to
Start a fight
Will only end up with you spending the night
In jail
Nobody'll care enough to post bail
Your stuck between good and bad
It's sad
But that's the way things are
Like Soda, dropping out of school to fix up someone's car
Like Darry becoming old before twenty years old
Like everyone being told
Their not good enough cuz we don't have tons of money
It's funny
How life goes for the sucker-punch
Then throws a bunch
Of stuff at you
And expects you to
Deal with it.
It's not fair.
I hate it.
