Mother told me to stop complaining,

Mother told me to start working.

 

Did mother know I'm just a teen?

how can you become soo mean?

 

Was it me or is it God?

That changed me to become a fraud?

 

I was left out from my childhood,

Falling out from the jive.

 

Mother told me it was wrong to be free,

but I just want to be me!

 

Oh mother, how I wish we could live like king,

Doesn't care the remain of our 'ching'.

 

It is true, now life is cruel,

Making people to become unreal.

 

Those years of deceit,

now has teach me to cheat!
