When I beat my head against the wall of convention
  the blood I taste is everyone's
  I fought a battle thought unpopular
  for stakes nobody seems to see
  nobody sees but me
    one step forward
  two steps back
  come on and try me
    my pain is the pain of children
  my heart is burning with their shame
  when mother cries all day
  I'll wipe those tears away
  you can't grow up healthy in a house of
    for every father holding back the angry fire until five
  when it festers on the drive
  his boss has shamed him to tears
  he should "take it like a man" but he never had a man to tell him
