Youth

Welcome to the world of the modern youth. Early in the morning and I'm up out the door Working for a living is becoming a chore Painting on a face To masquerade my thoughts And I know you never listen when I tell you the truth About the education of the modern youth but I hope Maybe someday soon we'll get away to a better place And live the high life Somewhere in the limelight Somewhere where it ain't so scummy and we bathe in money And we'll talk highlights Of spending a lifetime Conquering hard times from 9 to 5 Early in the morning on the top shop floor Everybody working in a top shop store Painting on a face to masquerade their thoughts And you know I never listen when you tell me the truth About the mindset of the modern youth But I hope, maybe someday soon we'll get away to a better place And live the high life Somewhere in the limelight Somewhere where it ain't so scummy and we bathe in money And we'll talk highlights Of spending a lifetime All conquering hard times from 9 to 5 So call your friends and let them know There's more to live than getting old and regretting it But I'm trying hard to let it show cause my Conscience left me long ago and I'm holding on To live the high life Somewhere in the limelight Somewhere where it ain't so scummy and we bathe in money And we'll talk highlights Of spending a lifetime All conquering hard times from 9 to 5.
