Life After Youth

I'm my own man I'm no robot I'm no mix of bolts and screws So when you try to tell me This world is so course and cold And there's nothing we can do Remember when we were kids And didn't have a care in the world Everything seemed so pure Where has that all gone now Can we finally get it back somehow Used to run around and play silly games Never had our eye on fortune or fame Showed interest in the little things Never were we clipped of our wings When you're young you just wanna grow up And live life just like your father But now there's bills to pay And everything you know Is just changing Far too quickly Remember when we were kids And didn't have a care in the world Everything seemed so pure Where has that all gone now Can we finally get it back somehow Used to run around and play silly games Never had our eye on fortune or fame Showed interest in the little things Never were we clipped of our wings So put away your toys and trucks It's time to make a couple bucks Why must we live this way You tell me that the future's now I need to stop fooling around Why'd you take my life from me It's the only thing that I had left
