This one's called "When You're Young"
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
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
Then 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
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
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 roll 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
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
You're fearless and brave
You can't be stopped when you're young
You used to fall in love with everyone
No corporations for the new age sons
You used to fall in love with everyone
Any guitar and any bass drum
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
