lyrics

It gets busy runnin all around tryin’ to clear your mind  It gets dizzy spinning round and round makin’ money and passing time  Then someone in the back the room asks ya who you think you are  Livin a life they don’t understand you’re just one to many bridges too far 

It sucks all the air out of the room 
But you’ve been around long enough to know what to do   

Remember the lies of youth 
Drag us further from the truth 
That not everyone will be happy not everyone will approve 
The lies of youth   

It gets strange livin in a world  As a one without a two
 It gets heavy picking up the pieces 
Of a life that’s come unglued  
And someone in the back of the room asks you what your gonna do 
Laying round and smoke it all like you’ve got nothin to prove   

It makes your eyes roll all around in your head 
But just remember this instead
  
That the lies of youth 
Drag us further from the truth
 That no one can make you happy
 The only one is you
 The lies of youth

Remember the lies of youth
Drag us further from the truth
That not everyone will be happy not everyone will approve
The lies of youth
