"Too young for nostalgia," they said
Too young to understand
Too young to know the significance
Since you weren't there to see it all go down
But they change the stories from time to time
Depending on what they need them to say
And it's so hard to find
So hard to find out what is true
When you don't know who to trust
And it's so hard to know
So hard to know which way to walk
When you don't know right from left
Or life from death
"I've heard this song a thousand times before"
He said as I heard it the first time
I tried to tell him what it spoke to me
But he only told me he knew the chords
Over the hills and far away
The notes will echo and say what they say
But it's so hard to know
So hard to know what to hear
When so many voices speak
And it's so hard to know
So hard to know which notes to play
When you don't know what they mean
Or what there named
"I've been without sin since 1968"
He said as he threw the first stone
It hit me flat in the face and I bled
For saying what his father would have said
How can I know what to think or to say
When nobody listens, but everyone hears
And it's so hard to stand
Stand up for what you believe
When they screw you in the ground
And it's so hard to fight
So hard to hold on to the truth
When the times ain't on your side
I was born for a time such as this
I was born for a time such as this
But I sometimes wish I'd been born
A thousand years ago
