Translation
Bilingual
When I was nine, the world was for the taking
The universe was right in my backyard
Daddy drove a truck to make the bacon
Mama made believe she was a movie star
I remember 1967
The Beatles said, "It's getting better all the time"
Turned around, and someone shot John Lennon
A generation almost lost its mind
Coming of age
We are constantly coming of age
And in spite of all we know and see
All we can do is let it be win or lose
Still, we learn and we move on
Climbing higher up the corporate ladder
Charming into bed the boss's daughter
Cruising 'round and posing like a hotshot
Getting in and out of hot water
Ooh-oh, whoa
Heard about this guy with lots of money
Buying up the world and having fun, oh
Gets the call his Lear Jet crashed in Surrey
Oh, and now he's lost his only son
Coming of age
We are constantly coming of age
And in spite of all we know and see
All we can do is let it be win or lose
Still, we learn and we move on, oh-oh
I woke up this morning sweating, shaking
Wasn't even sure of my own name
Once again, a change is in the making
Oh, the only thing I'm sure of
Is I'll never be the same
Coming of age
We are constantly coming of age (coming, coming of age)
And in spite of all we know and see
All we can do is let it be win or lose
Still we learn
Win or lose
Still we learn
But we move on
