| Don’t need your ancient wisdom
|
| Two things I’ll live with out!
|
| Relax
|
| (as children rest)
|
| Patience people, there’s no need to react so desperately tonight
|
| (You don’t need to know the things I know)
|
| In fact
|
| (as children rest)
|
| All of you will be sleeping with honesty intact
|
| (our innocence intact)
|
| So just give up, tonight
|
| (If I knew then what I knew now, I’d stay six years old!)
|
| If you lost everything in a moment, would you notice?
|
| Could you rebuild something so hopeless?
|
| Are you hopeless?
|
| And when you wake alone, with no one left to hold
|
| You won’t need to know all the things I know
|
| Paradise in every swimming pool
|
| Paradise in every playground slide!
|
| Paradise, fist first in the cookie jar!
|
| If I where you, I would defend my innocence! |
| visually
|
| I would fight all that tried to rob me of that!
|
| Because there’s some things you just don’t need to know!
|
| Tragedy in the dentist’s office
|
| Tragedy in every skinned knee?
|
| Tragedy spilled all over the kitchen floor!
|
| (x2) I don’t need a generation of burning on the ledge
|
| Don’t need your ancient wisdom
|
| Two things I’ll live with out!
|
| When you awake alone, with no one left to hold
|
| You won’t need to know, all the things I know
|
| You won’t need to know, all the things I know
|
| You won’t need to know, all the things I know
|
| (x2) I don’t need a generation of burning on the ledge
|
| Don’t need your ancient wisdom
|
| Two things I’ll live with out! |
