The world has turned preppy

The world has turned preppy

And I can feel it when I turn on the radio.

Artists I don't like

Because I can't relate to them

Can't relate to the stupid way they flirt

How obsessed they are with themselves

How conceited

It drives me crazy

No wonder most of the kids my age I've met

Are hopelessly self-absorbed

Everyone is

But never this bad

The world has turned preppy

And that's not a place for me

That's not me

Plain and simple

And that will never be me

Rock rock rock

I will never let paper beat me

Cover me up

Never ever

The world has turned preppy

But I am from the stars

The blades of grass

The icy waves

I am from fire

That goes cold as a freezer

The second anyone gets too close

And that world

Is not a place for preppies

This world

Is not a place for me

So I guess I'll have to go and build my own then

If they won't change and I won't change

We're at a standstill

The world has turned preppy

And I'm so sick of fighting it

So I'll stay by myself with the people who aren't

Until all this is over

Praying this is just a passing phase
