lyrics

Well to keep it simple
The problem is the people
Always trying to shove thier opinions down our throats
And maybe if they could just keep it simple
They wouldn't have to resort to misreading quotes

I don't really have the time
All I know is I've got mine
And you can't take that away
From me

Why must the people
Always be debating
When they don't realize that they're all just going nuts
And if the people
Could just stop thier hating
Then maybe possibly, they could get up the guts to

Say that this is not what counts
All I know is it amounts to nothing at all
Can we see the light of day?
Can we break out of this phase?
Oh, this phase that we don't need

Alright it's time, spread the word
Everybody everywhere is actin' so absurb
Alright it's time, to learn some couth
It's about time that we teach it to our youth
All you gotta do for me and all you gotta say to me
Is nothing at all
All you gotta do to me and all you gotta say for me
Is nothing at all

I don't really have the time
All I know is I've got mine
And you can't take that away
From a kid who's young and dumb
I'm young and dumb
I'm young and dumb
