I DONT WANNA BE ANOTHER STATISTIC
SOME SUICIDAL TEEN
WHO MAKES THE CHOICE TO KILL HERSELF 
WHEN THE WORLD SEEMS TOO MEAN
SHE CANT GO ON WITH LIFE
OR SO TO HER IT SEEMS
REALITY HAD FALLEN SHORT
AND SO HAVE HER MANY DREAMS

I DONT WANNA BE ANOTHER STATISITIC
SOME PREGNANT GIRL
WHO MET THIS REALLY GREAT GUY
AND THEN GAVE SEX A WHIRL
SHE WAS ONLY 15 
BUT IT FELT SO RIGHT
SHE THOUGHT THEYD BE TOGETHER 
FOR MORE THAN JUST ONE NIGHT

I DONT WANNA BE ANOTHER STATISTIC
SOME KID STRUNG OUT ON CRACK
WHO STARTED AT A PARTY
AND NOW SHE CANT TURN BACK
FIRST CIGARETTES AND ALCOHOL
NOW METH CRACK AND COCAINE
SHES BEEN SMOKING IT SO LONG
THAT NOW SHES GONE INSANE

I DONT WANNA BE ANOTHER STATISTIC
SOME GIRL LEFT IN THE RAIN
WHO WAS WALKIN HOME FROM SCHOOL
THEN RAPED AND LEFT IN PAIN
SHE CANT TELL HER PARENTS
AND IT HURTS TO TELL HER FRIENDS
SHE DOESNT KNOW WHAT TO DO
TO MAKE THIS NIGHTMARE END

I DONT WANNA BE ANOTHER STATISTIC
SOME STEREOTYPICAL TEEN
IM GONNA MAKE A DIFFERENCE
I'LL FINISH WITH MY DREAMS
I WONT END UP PREGNANT 
ON DRUGS OR EVEN DEAD
I WONT DROP OUT OF SCHOOL
BECAUSE I'LL USE MY HEAD

I DONT WANNA BE ANOTHER STATISTIC
TO FIT INTO SOME MOLD
OF WHAT SOCIETY THINKS OF KIDS TODAY
BECAUSE ITS GETTING KINDA OLD
NOT ALL OF US ARE BAD
IN FACT MOST OF US ARE GOOD
WHEN WILL THE WORLD SEE US
AND GIVE US CREDIT LIKE THEY SHOULD???
