You
There you sit, with nothing good to say
All you can do is belittle me, to try to make me stay
You say I will never make it on my own
You tell me that I will never survive away from home
But what do you know?
All you know is how to change the channel to a new show
So tell me, what reason do I have to listen?
When you keep everything locked up like a prison
You won't shut your mouth and let me speak
And cut me off, calling me a freak
You might be engaged to my mother
But I obey her, and no other
You rant and rave when things don't go your way
Never listening to what I have to say
So I'm done talking, done explaining
I'm leaving, and you can just keep complaining
The world doesn't revolve around you
Other people have problems too
But instead of working them out, you act like a child
Threatening to leave because your case isn't being filed
You treat my little brother like he does nothing right
And all you do is get him into trouble and try to start a fight
There isn't one peaceful day in this place
No day when you have a smile on your face
You can't act like a spoiled brat forever
Soon the ties around you will begin to sever
Until no one cares to listen to you complain
And you will be left in your chair alone, with all your shame
All you can do is belittle me, to try to make me stay
You say I will never make it on my own
You tell me that I will never survive away from home
But what do you know?
All you know is how to change the channel to a new show
So tell me, what reason do I have to listen?
When you keep everything locked up like a prison
You won't shut your mouth and let me speak
And cut me off, calling me a freak
You might be engaged to my mother
But I obey her, and no other
You rant and rave when things don't go your way
Never listening to what I have to say
So I'm done talking, done explaining
I'm leaving, and you can just keep complaining
The world doesn't revolve around you
Other people have problems too
But instead of working them out, you act like a child
Threatening to leave because your case isn't being filed
You treat my little brother like he does nothing right
And all you do is get him into trouble and try to start a fight
There isn't one peaceful day in this place
No day when you have a smile on your face
You can't act like a spoiled brat forever
Soon the ties around you will begin to sever
Until no one cares to listen to you complain
And you will be left in your chair alone, with all your shame
