| I was a kiddie in a candy store
|
| Saved up my pennies and I hid them all away
|
| And whiled away hours
|
| To be a grown-up looked so wonderful
|
| And even older children seemed to be so cool
|
| Their hands on the steering wheel
|
| If youth is wasted on the young
|
| Well then age is just exhausted by the aged
|
| I don’t care for getting older but it’s
|
| Better than the other option
|
| It’s much better than the other option
|
| I don’t care for getting older but it’s
|
| Better than the other option
|
| So much better than the other option
|
| I always thought that I was killing time
|
| Until one day — epiphany just hit me — no!
|
| The opposite is paradigm
|
| And all the years I wasted in my head
|
| Waiting for life to happen while those seconds sped
|
| Now I chase every one 'til I’m dead
|
| Yeah youth is wasted on the young
|
| And now I’d like to register dissatisfaction
|
| I don’t care for getting older but it’s
|
| Better than the other option
|
| It’s much better than the other option
|
| I don’t care for getting older but it’s
|
| Better than the other option
|
| So much better than the other option
|
| And you can’t tell 'em and I know why
|
| And you can’t tell 'em, don’t you try
|
| It’s plain to see when all is said and done
|
| 'Cause nobody could tell me when I was young
|
| I don’t care for getting older but it’s
|
| Better than the other option
|
| It’s much better than the other option
|
| I don’t care for getting older but it’s
|
| Better than the other option
|
| So much better than the other option
|
| Oh whoahoh… Better than the other
|
| Oh whoahoh… Better than the other
|
| Oh whoahoh… Better than the other |
