When I beat my head against the wall of convention
The blood I taste is everyone's
I fought a battle thought unpopular
For stakes nobody seems to see
Nobody sees but me

One step forward
Two steps back
Come on and try me
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/g/good+riddance/steps_20323921.html ]
My pain is the pain of children
My heart is burning with their shame
When mother cries all day
I'll wipe those tears away
You can't grow up healthy in a house of

For every father holding back the angry fire until five
When it festers on the drive
His boss has shamed him to tears
He should "take it like a man" but he never had a man to tell him
