Screamin' out their words
 To a world full of people
 Just livin' to be heard
 Future generations
 Ridin' on the highways that we built
 I hope they have a better understanding

 Check it out
 Goin' to work on Monday
 Check it out
 Got yourself a family
 Check it out
 All utility bills have been paid
 You can't tell your best buddy that you love him
 So check it out
 Where does our time go
 Check it out
 Got a brand new house in escrow
 Check it out
 Sleepin' with your back to your loved one
 This is all that we've learned about happiness

 Check it out
 Forgot to say hello to my neighbors
 Check it out
 Sometimes I question my own behavior
 Check it out
 Talkin' about the girls that we've seen on the sly
 Just to tell our souls we're still the young lions
 So check it out
 Gettin' too drunk on Saturdays
 Check it out
 Playin' football with the kids on Sundays
 Check it out
 Soarin' with the eagles all week long
 And this is all that we've learned about living
 This is all that we've learned about living

 A million young poets
 Screamin' out their words
 Maybe someday
 Those words will be heard
 By future generations
 Ridin' on the highways that we built
 Maybe they'll have a better understanding
 Check it out
 Hope they'll have a better understanding
 Check it out
 Maybe they'll have a better understanding
 Check it out
 Maybe they'll have a better understanding
 Check it out
 Hope they have a better understanding
 Check it out
