You Don't Have to Be Old to Be Wise (Album Version)歌词
作词 : DOWNING, KENNETH/HALFORD, ROBERT/TIPTON, GLEN
I've had enough of being programmed
And told what I ought to do
Let's get one thing straight
I'll choose my fate
It's got nothing to do with you
The years are flying by
And it's time I got high
Took a sample of the good things in life
This is the chance I'm gonna take
Gonna kick off trouble and strife
I've grown sick and tired of the same old lies
Might look a little young
So what's wrong
You don't have to be old to be wise
Now I don't care if the people stare
Accuse me of going mad
Just get a long hard look into the mirror
Then tell me now who's been had
The way things are going
I won't get a show in
Don't seem a lot of time
Not to me
So it's off with the ties
No compromise
Want to taste
What it's like to be free
I've grown sick and tired of the same old lies
Might look a little young
So what's wrong
You don't have to be old to be wise
solo
I've grown sick and tired of the same old lies
Might look a little young
So what's wrong
You don't have to be old to be wise
All right I'm grabbin' the reins
Holding the rope
Live and let live from now on
At last a free hand
No longer pre-planned
I got a will of my own
I'll go as I please
Fend for myself
Pull out all stops
Throw the dice
Out on my own
Gonna go it alone
When I need it then I'll ask for advice
You don't have to be old to be wise
You don't have to be old to be wise
You don't have to be old to be wise
You don't have to be old to be wise
You don't have to be old to be wise
You don't have to be old to be wise
You don't have to be old to be wise
