The Great Leaving

The whole world seems to turn upside down
my friends are leaving to grow up
I'll have to cahnge but I don't know how
cause everyone's trying to get a good job
Today I'm twenty- three
already down on my knees
cause I want to stay and they want to leave
- leave me alone
It's the great leaving - they're on their way
to make their luck and their future save
their dreams and hopes are gonna wreck
it's the great leaving and they won't come back
I don't know the rules of the game you call life
and even if I try I don't understand
what attracts you to a solid state
I can't watch you becoming a husband
Soon I'm twenty- four
and my life is a bore
they aren't the lads I knew before
- who are you
