Young and Dumb
I pursued happiness
A tapestry of fluorescent 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 the door
Been a hero and a deadbeat
A pencil pusher and a piece of meat
Wish I could forget what I know
And when my eyes are clear
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 to 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
A tapestry of fluorescent 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 the door
Been a hero and a deadbeat
A pencil pusher and a piece of meat
Wish I could forget what I know
And when my eyes are clear
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 to 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
