Lyrics
Young And Dumb
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.
I pursued happiness
A tapestry of flourescent bliss
But I'm dying on the vine
Don't recognize the view from here
A poor reflection in the rearview mirror
Of my own design
Every day is moving faster
Wanna hide from the disaster
But I'm a prisoner of my time
I'd rather be young and dumb
Surrounded by the possibility
Don't want to be old and numb
Wanna tell myself a lie I can believe
I wanna be young and dumb
I tried living in the ivory tower
Held down three jobs at ten an hour
Just to get into hte door
Been a hero and a deadbeat
A pencil pusher and a peice of meat
Wish I could forget what I know
And when my eyes ar eclear
I see good intentions are a cheap veneer
For every evil justified
I'd rather be young and dumb
Surrounded by the possibility
Don't want ot be old and numb
Wanna tell myself a lie
Wanna tell myself
I'd rather be young
And dumb
It's hard enough
To know it's not enough to know better
If these aching bones
And these jagged stones go together
Well I'd rather be young
Ashes to ashes
We all end up in a casket
Guess I'm fighting for my life
I'd rather be young and dumb
Surrounded by the possibility
Don't want to be old and numb
Wanna tell myself a lie
Wanna tell myself
I'd rather be young and dumb
