I don't know whats wrong with the youth of today

wondering lost it's true what they say

and who is to blame?

T.V and magazines,

they'd have you belive, everyday was halloween.

why when I was a kid,

playing in the ditches

living in fear of satan and the witches

the whole world was made of wood and smelled like gasoline

the days were atleast twice as long

and the grass was green.

running for my life

I was cursed by a talking snake

I'd walk all day

and throw rocks across a bottomless lake.

there was a killer in the woods who would whistle 

once in a while I could hear him shoot his pistol

and the other kids hated me...

but like a martyr

i drove my self harder and harder

blood in my eyes.

scrubing to get the dirt off

didn't say much didn't like to take my shirt off

was quick 

but I didn't know the meaning of pain yet

I'd visit father Bob

and he would show me his train set

tell me a story, offer me a glass of milk

send me on my way with a question to ask myself

the rain didn't bother me

the search had meaning

church was good but I'd rather be dreaming

high speed horse shoes harnneses and heavy string

problem is today they've got an answer for everything



4-6-3 an x an o and I can't think of a better way to end the day

4-6-3 a punch a kick and I can't think of a better way to end the day

4-6-3 a yes a no and I can't think of a better way to end the day

4-6-3 it's life, death and I can't think of a better way to end the day



learn the words

turnin' the double play

doing my damage in my own subtle way

I've been all over

I've seen to much

I no longer feel the need to rush

I'm upside down I'm inside out

broken glass all in my mouth

cut wide open and everybody knew why 

cuz when it comes to rockin something fearce

mmmm do I
