Hey Sir, I need a little change
Everything around me kinda looks a little strange
You see, here's the situation
I'm feeling the frustration of my loner generation
My father's always workin' - my mother never smiles
The world is on their shoulders, money problems on their mind
They're full of good intentions as far as I can tell
But we're so disconnected like I'm living by myself
If there's someone out there who knows what I feel say hey ya!
If you're feelin' like you got the short end of the deal say hey ya!
When the world's got you backed up against the wall
And no one's there to catch you, when you're starting to fall
If you feel like no one cares what's going on
You're not alone
Hey teacher today what's the lesson
I hope you got some answers 'cause I got a lot of questions
Help me out I need an education
A little inspiration, wanna see my graduation
Does it really matter? Does anybody care?
You're goin' through the motions got me pullin' out my hair
If everybody's sleepin' I'm locking all my doors
Text me if you want to, I can't take it anymore
If there's someone out there who knows what I feel say hey ya!
If you're feelin' like you got the short end of the deal say hey ya!
When the world's got you backed up against the wall
And no one's there to catch you, when you're starting to fall
If you feel like no one cares what's going on
You're not alone
Cuz I feel like I'm drowning in space
Fighting with the choices and the chances I take
It keeps knockin' me down, lockin' me in
I'm reachin' out again- is anybody out there?
So if there's someone out there who knows what I feel say hey ya!
If you're feelin' like you got the short end of the deal say hey ya!
When the world's got you backed up against the wall
And no one's there to catch you, when you're starting to fall
If you feel like no one cares what's going on
You're not alone
