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.
