I can't stand this for another day 
What kind of fool do you think i am? 
You sit and stare like you see through me 
But you know nothing of the way i live 
When you were young were you just like me 
A grim future but you didn't care 
Now i can tell by the threads on you 
You took a turn to stability 
But that's okay, because that is you and this is me 
 
[Chorus:] 
For me, it's a dirty world 
For me, it's a doubtful world 
For me 
You can't control my feet now i'm dancin to the beat 
For me, it's a dirty world 
For me, it's a doubtful world 
For me, it's a time to speak 
It's a youth explosion 
 
Do anything that you wanna do 
Go anywhere that you wanna go 
Don't need permission like the rest of them 
If this is loud then you're too old 
When you were young were you just like me 
A grim future but you didn't care 
Now i can tell by the threads on you 
You took a turn to stbility 
But that's okay, cause that is you and this is me 
 
[Chorus] 
 
Now the radio just ain't the same 
And the tube airs nothing for me 
So i spend a lot of time in my head 
Where at least i know im free 
 
[Chorus]
