Messed
Sixteen, only sixteen
We drive a car
Responsible for the man
Sitting to the right
Seventeen, only seventeen
We're allowed to see a movie
That has an "R" on its label
Just on year before, responsible for life
Eighteen, only eighteen
We sign for draft
Allowed to face death
Allowed to see truth
Twenty-one, only twenty-one
It's okay to waste away
Sipping on an open drink
Like nothing ever happened
At sixteen we're allowed to drive
Be responsible
But we can't watch a movie
With "R" on its cover
At eighteen we face death
Signing for draft
But not old enough
To enjoy a drink
The world is quite messed up!
