Shadow Man - As The Wheel Turns Lyrics

I get up another day, sky rains on my parade
I get in line to fly on a bus to my school high
I don't really wanna go cause all the people know
I'm different than they are and they'll show just how far
Evil really goes, every step that I take
Is another backwards in their world of endless rage
Minds that are small, weak, and horribly tainted
With the dark thoughts of making me really hate them

But I tell myself
Life's OK
I don't need to worry
I don't need to be afraid
Cause it's just
Another day
At my school
Another day
At school

I get to another class that I'm comin in dead last
The teacher looks at me, I can tell she wants to frame me
Get fifty detentions, hundred warnings, in-school suspension
But didn't serve them cause the teachers wouldn't even let me get in
The boys and girls hate me now, I don't know exactly why
The world is cruel, so if it is then so will I
I can't tell what's wrong or right anymore in my mind
So I will do what I believe is right

But I tell myself
Life's OK
I don't need to worry
I don't need to be afraid
Cause it's just
Another day
At my school
Another day
At school

At my locker
Time to take my right
At my locker
Throw away the knife
Screw the system
I don't give anymore
I've got a gun
Time to settle the score

Now I'm one of them, the f*ckin gangster crew
They accepted me as one of their friendly few
But why did they, after so much pain
Finally decide, that I've at long last changed
To someone they can trust, someone they can love?
It must be fake, I must be dreamin of
Something unreal, I don't even accept it
They didn't love me from the start
Why should I believe them?

My mind is burning, full of rage and fear
I shouldn't think this, bringing up the rear
I pull it out, I can't believe a thing I've heard
I'll just settle this, in my way, on my turf
There goes one, the girl that screamed I was a f*ck
There goes another, that boy who f*ckin stole my lunch
There goes three more, they dumped me in the school trash
It was four or five years ago, but who cares, it's time the crashed

Crash and burn
Crash and burn
Crash and burn
CRASH AND BURN

But I tell myself
Life's OK
I don't need to worry
I don't need to be afraid
Cause it's just
Another day
At my school
Another day
At school

But I tell myself
Life's OK
I don't need to worry
I don't need to be afraid
Cause it's just
Another day
At my school
Another day
At school

But I tell myself
Life's OK
I don't need to worry
I don't need to be afraid

So they're all dead
All my nightmares gone
But why did I do it
I was of their own
I was wrong, but I did not see
So to apologize, then I will bleed
I was wrong, but now I see
I killed them, now I will kill me

But I tell myself
Life's OK
I don't need to worry
I don't need to be afraid
Cause it's just
Another day
At my school
Another day
At school

But I tell myself
Life's OK
I don't need to worry
I don't need to be afraid
Cause it's just
Another day
At my school
Another day
At school
