When I was young, a year of hate
My medium, a rattlesnake
When I was young and full of flight
My medium, evening light
When I was young and full of grace
My medium, a pretty face
When I was young and fever fell
My medium, I would not tell
I will not tell
(Don't be a looser)
Throw those trolls away
(Don't be a looser)
Throw those trolls away
(Don't be a looser)
(Don't be a looser)
When I was young, a year of hate
My medium, a rattlesnake
When I was young and full of flight
My medium, evening light
When I was young and full of grace
My medium, a pretty face
When I was young and fever fell
My medium, I would not tell
I will not fight
(Don't be a looser)
Throw those trolls away
(Don't be a looser)
Throw those trolls away
(Don't be a looser)
(Don't be a looser)
Can you turn the guitar up a little bit?
When I would move
And the wind would move
And the wind would move
And I would move and
Our medium was a parachute
Our medium
When I was young and full of flight
My medium, evening light
When I was young and fever fell
My medium, I would not tell
I will not fight
(Don't be a looser)
Throw those trolls away
(Don't be a looser)
Throw those trolls away
(Don't be a looser)
Throw those trolls away
(Don't be a looser)
And now I'm young and full of life
Our medium, is giving up
Giving in
(Don't be a looser)
Throw those trolls away
(Don't be a looser)
Throw those trolls away
(Don't be a looser)
Throw those trolls away
(Don't be a looser)
Throw those trolls away
(Don't be a looser)
Throw those trolls away
(Don't be a looser)
Throw those trolls away
(Don't be a looser)
