Lyrics
CONDESCENDING
Was taught to respect you
But you just continue
To act like you don?t care
I?m trying my best to
Live up to my own rules
Without you to compare
And I, I can make mistakes, I?m only human
But why ya have to patronize me
CHORUS
What are you tryin? to prove
Give me just a little credit
May be young, but I?m not dumb
Don?t you get it
I may not know what I want
But I do know what I don?t
What are you tryin? to prove
You?re condescending
I?m in this adult world
And just ?cuz you?re older
You think you know it all
The same room, the same view
But nothing that I do
Could make me visible
And I, I can make mistakes, I?m only human
But why ya have to patronize me
CHORUS
If you would listen to me
I might have something to say
It shouldn?t be about age
Give me a break now
Give me a break now
And I, I can make mistakes, I?m only human
But why ya have to patronize me
CHORUS
