Don't like society? Then you can't help but see You've rabid dogs upon your heels Not feeling like the rest? Just take another test Gauge each emotion that you feel Keep in mind 9 out of 10 ain't bad Trapped in bureaucracy Or lost in ecstasy? No matter which I'm sure you'll yearn To learn that heresy And acts of god and me Are machinations of this world Keep in mind 9 out of 10 ain't bad What do you do when all that's coming down on you Says that you're older - you're older And every day you see the lines on every face And you feel older but none the wiser Enraged by apathy Cold hearts in atrophy A generation quite disturbed The iron curtain fell Now life's a private hell Perpetually unperturbed Keep in mind 9 out of 10 ain't bad What do you do when all that's coming down on you Says that you're older - you're older And every day you see the lines on every face And you feel older but none the wiser Tell me it's true - why don't you Tell me it's true as we grow older We should grow bolder Tell me it's true 'cause I would love to be like you Older and wiser, too What do you do when all that's coming down on you Says that you're older - you're older And every day you see the lines on every face And you feel older, older, older, older What do you do when all that's coming down on you Says that you're older - you're older And every day you see the lines on every face And you feel older but none the wiser Tell me it's true - why don't you Tell me it's true as we grow older We should grow bolder Tell me it's true 'cause I would love to be like you Older and wiser, older and wiser, too
