Sweet little girl, she's the high school queen
  She lives tonight, in every school boys' dream
  Oh, but nobody knows how she's cryin'
  She's just a child goin' on seventeen
  
  She gets so confused by her friends and their scenes
  They don't mean what they say
  They don't say what they mean
  She reads the signs, reads between the lines
  But it makes no difference
  There's no reason or rhyme
  
  Just hold on girl, as long as you can
  In time you'll learn what you don't understand
  It's the human condition, it's the nature of man
  
  CHORUS:
  Everybody's crazy, everybody's crazy
  Everybody's crazy, everybody's crazy
  
  This city boy, he don't want no control
  He just wanna party and play his rock 'n' roll
  But here they come to turn the pressure on
  Say'n son, your partyin' days are gone
  
  The time has come now to be a man
  Find your place in the world, gotta take what you can
  You've got no ambition, take a look at yourself
  When ya gonna straighten out, be like everybody else
  
  The boy said listen dad, you're bringin' me down
  I am who I am, I've had a good look around
  There's one thing in the world I can tell you I've found
  
  CHORUS:
  
  There ain't no wonder things are so outta hand
  Sooner or later, ya come to understand
  The human condition, it's the nature of man
  
  CHORUS:
