I ask you why --
and you can't even give me an answer.
You're absurd.
You base your rules on principle
                    -not reason
And are so certain
          that you are in the right
That there is no room for discussion.

I've tried my whole life
to avoid people like you . . .
          . . . but now I can't.
          Now I am forced
                    to associate with you
          to smile -
          even though I want to scream

You're living in the past.
                    (wake up)
It's not the 50's anymore.
                    (get used to it)

Right now . . .
I can't stand you.

If I could obliterate every overprotective parent on this earth,
          I would.
If I could singlehandedly destroy them all,
          I would.

Especially you.

If I could crush your refusal to listen to me,
          I would.
If I could eradicate the doubt in your mind,
          I would.

If I could turn away from you and never have to see your face again,
          I would.
If I could walk away with what I want and never have to worry again,
          I would.

If I felt I could turn my back to you,
          I would.
