Quarter Century New
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You see the posters up around my room
And you ask me if I'm going to get up soon
And I say I think I'm fine here today
I know you wonder about the friends I run with
And I know you rifle through my room when I'm out
You'll never find out what I'm about
But I hear you no matter what you think
Because I know there is good in all your preaching
What I am I got from you
But you need to learn how to listen to me
I won't grow up because life can be so cold
I'm going to live in my dreams
Even if I'll die to see them through
I don't want to wake up a half a century older
Wanting to be a quarter century new
Quarter century new
I did my time
I got through school
Left it all and made my rules that day
The day we got away
A different time I'm a different person
And I grew into the look you thought was a curse for so long
I´ve always been a little to far gone
But I hear you no matter what you think
Because I know there is good in all your preaching
What I am I got from you
But you need to learn how to listen to me
Now, I won't grow up because life can be so cold
I'm gonna live in these dreams
Even if I die to see them through
I don't want to wake up a half a century older
No wanting to be a quarter century new
Quarter Century New
