| I grew up in a good time, 'neath the clear blue sky
|
| Played out in the open where you could run and fall and cry
|
| We didn’t worry 'bout a grazed knee in a carefree world
|
| We failed without judgment, another lesson learned
|
| Innocent and wild
|
| For a generation without a war to fight
|
| Now the earth’s on fire and the oceans rise, everywhere it’s fear and lies
|
| People listening, who’d wanna be a young man?
|
| Social media mind control, even music’s lost its soul
|
| Information overload, who’d wanna be a young man?
|
| I wouldn’t wanna be a young man
|
| There was hope for the future, no money was tight
|
| We’d all dream together by the television’s light
|
| The stars were distant and less was more
|
| And conversation was a pleasure, not a chore
|
| Imagination
|
| But now there’s just no time to be a child
|
| Headed for the clear with the in the hands of a lying clown
|
| What a time to be around, who’d wanna be a young man?
|
| Every day the clock ticks on, closing in on oblivion
|
| What the hell is going on? |
| Who’d wanna be a young man?
|
| I wouldn’t wanna be a young man
|
| I couldn’t go back and I know it’s true
|
| But I wouldn’t go back if you paid me to
|
| I couldn’t go back and I know it’s true
|
| But I wouldn’t go back if you paid me to
|
| I couldn’t go back and I know it’s true
|
| But I wouldn’t go back if you paid me to
|
| I couldn’t go back and I know it’s true
|
| Innocent and wild
|
| Now there’s no time to be a child
|
| Now the earth’s on fire and the oceans rise, everywhere it’s fear and lies
|
