Hi, been away for a while - just holiday and lack of inspiration really. But I just wrote a new song. I'm not too sure about it but would love to hear thoughts. This is literally just more like an idea track. I feel like the bridge is weird. And I'm unsure on the lyrics. Critique welcome

Lyrics:
So you have a job now
you can vote now
you can buy a house and drive a car
but that doesn’t mean you’ll go too far
so you live on your own now
does that automatically mean you know how
I don’t think these obvious rules
are taught in school
do you know what you want
do you now use a boring font
how does a day make a difference, which menu you choose
how does a day make a difference
I don’t think it should
no I don’t think it should
you don’t always have to do as you’re told
it’s easier than when you’re old
you’re young and free
so do what needs be
it can be hard I know especially when you’re not alone
so I talk to
the rulers over us
can we sit and discuss
do you know what you want
do you now use a boring font
how does a day make a difference, which menu you choose
how does a day make a difference
I don’t think it should
no I don’t think it should
we need time/ to learn/ and grow/ forcing change on us makes us feel more alone
i don't know what i want
i'm forced to use a boring font
how does a day make a difference, which menu I choose
how does a day make a difference
I don't think it should
no i don't think it should.
