She felt lonely surrounded by drug addicts
Conceited bitches and sports fanatics
There were macho men wearing tight pants
Bragging about fucking and trying to dance
It was during her days, during her high school days
She became a social pioneer
Swore she would never, ever, ever, ever
Give in to her fears
Courageous Kid - living an honest life
Kicking the teeth out of society's bite
Courageous Kid - saving humankind
Always remembering to use her mind
He had the guts to observe his peers
And realized they weren't all queers
Music and clothing didn't matter to him
He admired and judged their feelings within
It happened one day, one bright sunny day
Felt humanity needed him
Lent a helping hand from his hardcore band
Told the majority he would win
Courageous Kid - enemy of society
Yet the nicest person he could be
Courageous Kid - will never quit
Fuck with him and you'll eat shit
Break all the rules - the ones that people set for you
Who gave them the right to say what you should do
Don't isolate yourself from your community
Enjoy yourself creatively
You want to be an individual, want to be yourself
Want to show the world you're not like anyone else
But the officials and the jerks keep dragging you down
You put on a phony act and cover your frown
But inside you cry, you just want to die
Break Out - destroy this mold, be brave and bold
Live your life from your heart
Don't be mad, be positive and glad
Communicate and tear those mental barriers apart
