Tyler Lyle - The Native Genius of Desert Plants

Young Men

Young Men
They don't take what they've been given
Young men
They write songs about women
They just wanna live forever
They just wanna live forever, amen
In a song, when they're gone
Amen

And girls
You know I hear that they buy potions
And girls
They buy creams and lotions
And they just wanna live forever
They just wanna live forever, amen
Like a daisy never fades
Amen

And young brides
They live on through their children
And architects
They love on through their buildings
Presidents get statues of themselves
Novelists get their books on dusty shelves

Old men
They are never in a hurry
Old men
Their faces free from worry
They don't care to live forever
They don't care to live forever, amen
Just to greet the end like a friend
Amen

And the stone
He returns to the ground
There are no ghosts
And no promises of sacred sounds
And all the statues disintegrate
And every word fades from every age

Young men
We don't take what we've been given
Young men
We write songs about young women
We all just wanna live forever
We are sorry that we will never
