Songtexte 17 - Mahalia
See
as
people
we
try,
to
please
one
another
In
order
to
be
equal,
we
lie
So
we
don′t
have
to
suffer,
no
But
I'm
tired
of
hiding
for
the
benefit
of
my
peers
What′s
so
wrong
with
shining?
Why've
you
got
so
much
fear?
I
got
my
skin
all
out
I
don't
care
I′m
proud
to
be
me,
yeah
I
was
scared
to
stand
out
now
I′m
wearing
my
hair
down
And
I
feel
so
free
Oh,
it's
good
to
be
17
Well,
I
feel
so
free
Oh,
it′s
good
to
be
17
17
See,
as
teenagers
we
think
we
have
to
blend
But
if
you
want
to
be
greater
than
this
There's
no
use
in
pretending
′Cause
I
tried
to
change
myself
for
the
benefit
of
my
friends
Well,
now
it's
time
to
wave
goodbye
′cause
My
used-to-be's
are
at
an
end
Well,
now
I
got
my
skin
all
out
I
don't
care
I′m
proud
to
be
me,
yeah
I
was
scared
to
stand
out
now
I′m
wearing
my
hair
down
And
I
feel
so
free
Oh,
it's
good
to
be
17,
baby
I
feel
so
free
Oh,
it′s
good
to
be
17
17
I
will
be
myself
'cause
I
like
who
I′m
becoming
If
you're
ready
come
with
me
These
boots
were
made
for
running
But
I′m
sick
of
running
In
circles
around
ya
This
ain't
about
ya
(No)
This
ain't
about
ya
I
got
my
skin
all
out
I
don′t
care
I′m
proud
to
be
me,
yeah
And
I
was
scared
to
stand
out
now
I'm
wearing
my
hair
down
And
I
feel
so
free
Oh,
it′s
good
to
be
17
17
17
17
17
I
will
be
myself
'cause
I
like
who
I′m
becoming
If
you're
ready
come
with
me
These
boots
were
made
for
running
But
I′m
sick
of
running
In
circles
around
ya
This
ain't
about
ya
This
ain't
about
ya
