• I'm sixteen, and I got to choose my life
    I'm sixteen, but I'm still sacrificed
    I'm sixteen, and you beat in the law
    I'm sixteen, and I'm only able to craw
    I'm sixteen, and you taught me well
    I'm sixteen, trained to move with the bell
    I'm sixteen, but already stuck in the wall
    I'm sixteen, and labeled countries to call
    I'm sixteen, just learned justice is bought
    I'm sixteen, not privileged with free thought
    I'm sixteen, and I can't make my own choice
    I'm sixteen, and I've been stripped of my voice
    I'm sixteen, anger fills every day
    I'm sixteen, I'll choose to live my own way
    I'm sixteen, force to compete for a place
    I'm sixteen, win a spot on our race
    I'm sixteen, and look out windows with bars
    I'm sixteen, and want to shine like the stars

    but at sixteen there will be no stars,
    and your stuck behind bars
    You'll compete with your race.
    You'll be moving in place.
    You can choose our choice.
    Or your not given a voice.
    You will work every day.
    Just to make it some day.
    Are you thinking a thought?
    You'll get shot if your caught.
    Keep your feelings inside.
    Cause the rest of us died.
    Put our happy mask's on.
    Forget your freedoms are gone.
    Your whole life has been staged.
    And you live in a cage.
    You will be like the rest.
    You may now start your test.
