WELL I LONG TO BE YOUNG AGAIN
YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE
AND THEN OVER AGAIN
SO YOU LONG TO SEE AN OLD FRIEND
WELL, YOU ONLY DIE ONCE
SO LET'S MAKE AMENDS
I AM A YOUNG COWBOY IN MY DREAMS
FRESH WITH YOUTH AND VIGOR
SO WRONG, BUT I'M RIGHT IT SEEMS
I'LL TAKE THIS SHOT OF BOURBON
AND ALL I FEEL IS JOY
GATHER UP ALL THE PIECES
A MAN YET STILL A BOY
I DON'T WANT TO GO ALONE
THESE WEEDS ARE TAKING OVER OUR MINDS
OUR HEADS ARE GETTING CLOUDY
LIKE POWER LINES WE'RE INTERTWINED
OUR BODIES WILL SHAKE
LIKE TUMBLEWEEDS BLOWN IN THE BREEZE
WE'VE BEEN PROGRAMMED TO BE FAILURES BY THE SYSTEM
BUT SUCCESS IS ALL I SEE
AGAIN, I REFUSE TO GO ALONE
ALL I HEAR AND ALL I SEE
IS A GENERATION CRYING OUT AND DYING TO BE FREE
I CAN'T TURN A BLIND EYE ANYMORE
WHEN KIDS ARE PICKING UP BAD HABITS AND ROBBING LIQUOR STORES
TURN ON YOUR TELEVISION, TAKE A LISTEN
IT'S RON BURGUNDY DEBATING THE PLASTIC POLITICIAN
DO WE REALLY WANT THIS FOR OUR CHILDREN?
PSYCHEDELIC DREAMS, SLEEPLESS NIGHTS
PRESCRIPTIONS, AND RITALIN
