Growing Up And Losing Touch

[Chorus]
Your youth is neglected and
You take on wicked ways
Listen to what I have to say

[Verse]
You grow old and corrupt
Not grow young and with heart
So you fuck up as a kid and get shit and then get stuck
You do whatever the hell they want at the cost of your love
You see youth are all pure and the system makes them worse
You spend only eighteen years as a smart child then give it up
Kill that part of you that was good and then you fall victim to this system, show no resistance
So you should be a smart child and not do wild shit
Save some of that for when you grow up, just try it
That way, you will long for the wildness of being young
And while you’ll still be an adult who is tough and responsible you’ll still have fun
But not fun in the way that the system says is right
But in the way deep down you know is appropriate
It works not like how they wish to sequester you
You have to go against the pressures to do what they do and think like they think
‘cause they’re stupid
It’s a mix that is some youthfulness and wisdom of years
You are here to your share gifts, not be like your peers
Why do you want to kill your inner child?
And then surrender to a wicked style?
Can’t you see that they lied to you?
Can’t you see what they’re trying to do?
That their game isn’t right for you?
Just live how Nature wants you to live and you’ll be cool

[Chorus]
Your youth is neglected and
You take on wicked ways
Listen to what I have to say
