Points Of View

I know I won't seein' my girl for awhile

I know there'll be no sleep tonight

And nothing's going to turn out right

I just wish tonight it might

I hope these words come out right

I hope I don't explode under the pressure

Let's just go out tonight

Let's not worry about the stormy weather

All these thoughts that cross my mind

I haven't seen you in a long time



My mind is so confused by conflicting points of view

Some say “don't” and some say “do”

No matter what I do it never stops

So stop yelling in my ear 'cause it's up to the top



Never buy into what they say

Do things your own way

Never let them violate you

You know where you stand

You don't belong there

You know you can do much better

Don't care what they say

I'm behind you all the way



Never comply, never conform

For nobody's sake



They try to hypnotize you

They try to buy you

Never buy into it

Never let it phase you

You know where you stand and its not with him

You know where you stand and it's not with him



Never do what they say

OBEY!



Now listen hear, you gotta shape up

You gotta be the best

(Don't fail me now)

You'll never win if you are lazy

So just get off your ass

Young man, young man

Don't you, don't you be late for class!!



See I just don't have time

To listen to conflicting points of view

So I'll shut my ears

And listen to what I'm telling me to do
