Now i'm seventeen
My school is in the 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 and after school time
That's what i call my own time
Nice girls meet nice boys end of school day
While other girls go straight home, talking bout soaps
And then i go home alone
Like it watching 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 and after school time
That's what i call my own time
Nice girls meet nice boys end of school day
While other girls go straight home, talking bout soaps
And then i go home alone
And have dinner in my sweet home
Praying again, again and again
I see the same faces in school
And they say that i am different
I think it's an honor
I say it's an honor to be different
I can't go their way
Surfing subways, travelling somewhere
Nowhere
I go home alone
And have dinner in my sweet sweet home
Praying again, again and again
Now i'm seventeen .... now i'm seventeen.
