Now I'm seventeen
My school is in a country
Students wear trainers
Read the same magazines
Now I'm seventeen
My school is getting tiresome
Teachers they're so young
Singling me out
Only like philosophy & after school the time
That's what I call my own... My own time
Nice girls meet nice boys end of school day
While other girls go strait home
Talking 'bout soaps n' that
I go home alone
Like it watching the nameless people
Surfing subways, travelling somewhere
Nowhere...
Now I'm seventeen
I do not have a title
Depend on no one else
Busy being kind
Only like philosophy & after school the time
That's what I call my own... My own time
Nice girls meet nice boys end of school day
While other girls go strait home
Talking 'bout soaps n' that
I go home alone
And have dinner in my sweet home
Praying again... Again & again
(& again & again...)
I see the same faces in school & they say that I am different
I think it's an honour
I say it's an honour to be different
I can't go their way
Surfing subways, travelling somewhere
Nowhere... Nowhere... No no
I go home all alone
And have dinner in my sweet sweet home
Praying again... Again & again
(& again & again...)
Now I'm seventeen
Now I'm seventeen
My school is in a country
Students wear trainers
Read the same magazines
Now I'm seventeen
My school is getting tiresome
Teachers they're so young
Singling me out
Only like philosophy & after school the time
That's what I call my own... My own time
Nice girls meet nice boys end of school day
While other girls go strait home
Talking 'bout soaps n' that
I go home alone
Like it watching the nameless people
Surfing subways, travelling somewhere
Nowhere...
Now I'm seventeen
I do not have a title
Depend on no one else
Busy being kind
Only like philosophy & after school the time
That's what I call my own... My own time
Nice girls meet nice boys end of school day
While other girls go strait home
Talking 'bout soaps n' that

And have dinner in my sweet home
Praying again... Again & again
(& again & again...)
I see the same faces in school & they say that I am different

I say it's an honour to be different

And have dinner in my sweet sweet home
Praying again... Again & again
(& again & again...)
Now I'm seventeen
Now I'm seventeen
