Bad Answers Out of My Shell lyrics

As a kid, everybody has this dream
Rock and roll is your manifest destiny
Everybody wants to be more than just someone
When you're older, they'll try to annex your thoughts
Your mind will change, but mine did not
I'll work these bones till the day I die

I didn't pick these strings, these strings picked me
The age of nine is when they found me
The music is what beats through my chest
I promise you world, you'll never stop me from doing my best

I've felt out of step since day one

We've all grown and changed, but yet I'm just still waiting for maturity to come
I've been waiting for what feels like a lifetime
I finally have decided to come out of my shell
These lyrics got me out of that damn jail cell
I'd be nowhere if poetry

I didn't pick these strings, these strings picked me
The age of nine is when they found me
The music is what beats through my chest
I promise you, world, you'll never stop me from doing my best
