Life is timeless, days are long when you're young
|
You used to fall in love with everyone
|
Any guitar and any bass drum
|
Life is a drink and you get drunk when you're young
|
Life is new and there's things to be done
|
You can't wait to be grown up
|
Acceptance into the capital world
|
You pull on some weed and you pull on someone when you're young
|
|
But you find out life isn't like that
|
It's so hard to comprehend
|
Why you set up your dreams to have them smashed in the end
|
|
But you don't mind you've got time on your side
|
And they're never gonna make you stand in line
|
You're just waiting for the right time
|
|
You're fearless and brave - you can't be stopped when you're young
|
You swear you're never ever gonna work for someone
|
No corporations for the new age sons
|
Tears of rage run down your face
|
But still you say "it's fun"
|
|
And you find out life isn't like that
|
It's so hard to understand
|
Why the world is your oyster but your future's a clam
|
|
It's got you in its grip before you're born
|
It's done with the use of a dice and a board
|
They let you think you're king but you're really a pawn
|
|
You're fearless and brave - you can't be stopped when you're young
|
You used to fall in love with everyone
|
Any guitar and any bass drum
|
