...will add audio later...
When I was fifteen I dreamed about being 21
Couldn't wait for that freedom
My own place would be so much fun
But when I left my gardenland of childhood bliss
You know I never thought I
Would have so much to miss...
Chorus:
Why didn't anybody tell me
All those things I needed to know
Why did they fill me
With meaningless innuendos
I coulda done so much better
If I'd've only known what I was doing
It only hurts us all
Who are they fooling?
When I left high school
I still had the better part of my dreams
Only three years later
I was falling apart at the seams
Well, did I know the year
--they wanna know
Did I know who was President
(like it really mattered)
Did I know who I was--ha!
I hardly knew how to pay the rent---
Chorus...Bridge...
Oh, I was
Too smart to die
I was too dumb to see
That if I had a baby
The government would take them
Away from me
They said I didn't know how to handle
Re--spon--si--bil--it--y
I'm just a bit too unorthodox--
--in the end, they took all three------
from me... (scream)
So, for those of you who're
Out there now
With young minds and young dreams
Don't get hooked on the future
Because it might not be as great as it seems
