You Don't Have To Be Old To Be Wise
|
|
I've had enough of being programmed
|
And told what I oughta do
|
Let's get one thing straight
|
I'll choose my fate
|
It's got nothing to do with you
|
|
The years are flying by
|
And it's time I got high
|
Took a sample of the good things in life
|
This is the chance i'm gonna take
|
Gonna kick out trouble and strife
|
|
I've grown sick and tired of the same old lies
|
Might look a little young
|
So what's wrong
|
You don't have to be old to be wise
|
|
Now I don't care if the people stare
|
And accuse me of going mad
|
Just get a long hard look into the mirror
|
Then tell me who's been had
|
|
The way things are going
|
I won't get a show in
|
Don't seem a lot of time
|
Not to me
|
|
So it's off with the ties
|
No compromise
|
What it takes
|
What it's like to be free
|
|
I've grown sick and tired of the same old lies
|
Might look a little young
|
So what's wrong
|
You don't have to be old to be wise
|
|
Solo
|
|
All right i'm down on the reins
|
Holding the rope
|
Live and let live from now on
|
|
And as the free hand
|
Alone a free man
|
I got a world of my own
|
I go as I please
|
Fend for myself
|
Bull out all the stops
|
Throw the dice
|
|
Out on my own
|
Gonna go it alone
|
When I need it i'll ask for advice
|
|
You don't have to be old to be wise - repeat
|
