[00:02.18]I have just turned twelve years old
[00:08.67]I'm trying to write a song for school
[00:15.16]And I better practice hard today
[00:21.78]If I'm gonna be a rock'n'roll star some day
[00:28.52]My teachers never knew how to take my plans
[00:34.06]But that's alright cause they could never understand
[00:41.27]They treat you like you're crazy and so
[00:45.02]They just stand with a grin
[00:48.22]And they won't let you in
[00:51.37]Cause "you're strange and absurd"
[00:54.98]And "you just don't fit in"
[00:58.64]Oh please, won't you concede
[01:11.07]I'm only a boy trying to succeed
[01:40.03]There's people all around me
[01:46.08]I've got nothing but a microphone
[01:52.63]I know it's not the usual job but
[01:58.87]It's the only thing I've ever known
[02:04.27]I've tried my best to get on with an ordinary life
[02:11.28]But never excelled in a 'nine-till-five'
[02:17.47]My part time job thinks I'm crazy, I know,
[02:21.66]Cause their jokes are on me,
[02:24.61]Cause they don't understand
[02:28.02]What it's like to have plans,
[02:30.72]And work as hard as you can
[02:33.87]Oh please, won't you concede
[02:45.79]I'm only a man trying to succeed
[03:12.94]I'm lifting my head up high
[03:19.23]But this world keeps pulling my shoulders down
[03:24.88]I keep trying to wear a smile
[03:31.07]Though I'm sure the world sees it upside down
[03:35.19]They pull and drag it to the ground
[03:38.04]And they leave you feeling thrown around
[03:41.11]Please won't you concede
