Young Man - Thunder

I grew up in a good time, 'neath the clear blue sky

Played out in the open where you could run and fall and cry

We didn’t worry 'bout a grazed knee in a carefree world

We failed without judgment, another lesson learned

Innocent and wild

For a generation without a war to fight

Now the earth’s on fire and the oceans rise, everywhere it’s fear and lies

People listening, who’d wanna be a young man?

Social media mind control, even music’s lost its soul

Information overload, who’d wanna be a young man?

I wouldn’t wanna be a young man

There was hope for the future, no money was tight

We’d all dream together by the television’s light

The stars were distant and less was more

And conversation was a pleasure, not a chore

Imagination

But now there’s just no time to be a child

Headed for the clear with the in the hands of a lying clown

What a time to be around, who’d wanna be a young man?

Every day the clock ticks on, closing in on oblivion

What the hell is going on?

Who’d wanna be a young man?

I wouldn’t wanna be a young man

I couldn’t go back and I know it’s true

But I wouldn’t go back if you paid me to

I couldn’t go back and I know it’s true

But I wouldn’t go back if you paid me to

I couldn’t go back and I know it’s true

But I wouldn’t go back if you paid me to

I couldn’t go back and I know it’s true

Innocent and wild

Now there’s no time to be a child

Now the earth’s on fire and the oceans rise, everywhere it’s fear and lies

People listening, who’d wanna be a young man?

Social media mind control, even music’s lost its soul

Information overload, who’d wanna be a young man?

I wouldn’t wanna be a young man

I don’t wanna be a young man

I couldn’t go back and I know it’s true

But I wouldn’t go back if you paid me to

I couldn’t go back and I know it’s true

But I wouldn’t go back if you paid me to

(Don't wanna be a young man)

I couldn’t go back and I know it’s true

But I wouldn’t go back if you paid me to

I couldn’t go back and I know it’s true

(Don't wanna be a young man)

I couldn’t go back and I know it’s true

But I wouldn’t go back if you paid me to

I couldn’t go back and I know it’s true

But I wouldn’t go back if you paid me to

(Don't wanna be a young man)

I couldn’t go back and I know it’s true

But I wouldn’t go back if you paid me to

I couldn’t go back and I know it’s true

(Don't wanna be a young man)

I couldn’t go back and I know it’s true

But I wouldn’t go back if you paid me to

I couldn’t go back and I know it’s true

But I wouldn’t go back if you paid me to

(Don't wanna be a young man)

I couldn’t go back and I know it’s true

But I wouldn’t go back if you paid me to

I couldn’t go back and I know it’s true

(Don't wanna be a young man)

I couldn’t go back and I know it’s true

But I wouldn’t go back if you paid me to

I couldn’t go back and I know it’s true
