Lyrics
You've got something to say

You think your life is Pain
You perceive your life as filled with suffering.
Maybe you're just vain
It's possible that your suffering is a result of self-centeredness.
You gotta grow up sometime
Maturity requires facing challenges, taking risks, and being responsible.
and put your word on the line
Expressing oneself authentically involves taking risks.
You shout and holler and scream
You express yourself loudly and passionately.
Behind your 7 inch screen
Your strong expressions often occur behind the safety of a digital screen.
When push comes to shove
When confronted with difficulties, you tend to avoid confrontation.
and they come knocking on your door you're gonna run and hide
