People would say I was a good boy
But I don’t want to be so good any more
I’ve always done whatever they told me
I didn’t mind, but now it’s a bore
I’ve got the feet that I was born with
And now I want to stand up for my self
I feel the need to be independent
I’m big enough to look after myself
They said I was clever ‘cos I didn’t argue
But I don’t need to agree any more
I used to believe what ever they told me
I’ll make my own mind up now, that’s for sure
I’ve got a head with a good brain inside it
It’s about time I used it myself
I feel the need to draw my conclusions
I’m smart enough to think for myself
I’ve always been told to behave nicely
But I don’t want to be so nice any more
“You show respect for your olders and betters”
If they don’t respect me I say “no more”
I’ve got a head that I’m gonna hold up
I’ve got good reason to be proud of myself
Nobody can say that I have to be perfect
I’m just as good as anyone else
