I pursued happiness
A tapestry of fluorescent bliss
But I'm dying on the vine
Don't recognize the view from here
A poor reflection in the rearview mirror
Of my own design
Every day is moving faster
Wanna hide from the disaster
But I'm a prisoner of my time
I'd rather be young and dumb
Surrounded by the possibility
Don't want to be old and numb
Wanna tell myself a lie I can believe
I wanna be young and dumb
I tried living in the ivory tower
Held down three jobs at ten an hour
Just to get into the door
Been a hero and a deadbeat
A pencil pusher and a piece of meat
Wish I could forget what I know
A tapestry of fluorescent bliss
But I'm dying on the vine
Don't recognize the view from here
A poor reflection in the rearview mirror
Of my own design
Every day is moving faster
Wanna hide from the disaster
But I'm a prisoner of my time
I'd rather be young and dumb
Surrounded by the possibility
Don't want to be old and numb
Wanna tell myself a lie I can believe
I wanna be young and dumb
I tried living in the ivory tower
Held down three jobs at ten an hour
Just to get into the door
Been a hero and a deadbeat
A pencil pusher and a piece of meat
Wish I could forget what I know
