Everyone does stupid things
At some point in one's life
For example puffy pants
Or that tattoo of your first wife
But don't you worry your pretty head
Everything's okay
It's excusable behavior
At least that's what they say
They say
You're allowed to do stupid things when you're young
People look the other way
It's okay
At least that's what people say
You're allowed to try pot
You're allowed to get shot
You're allowed to do anything once
Cuz you're young
Yeah you're young
Yeah you're young
So why do adults lie to little kids
When they're walking home from school
But do they know in 10 years they'll be peeing in a stranger's pool oh
You're allowed to do anything when you're young
You could go gay for a day it's okay
Cuz you're young but you're also probably gay
You can fall in the streets
You can eat fatty treats
You can make out with 15 people on the bathroom floor
Cuz you're young
But you're a whore if you do that
So who can say poo-poo
At what we do
Cuz we're the youth we don't follow rules
Don't you think we know
That we're acting like enormous tools
Oh oh oh oh
Savor being young
When you're old you have to de-pierce your tongue
When you're old you can't swallow your gum
When you're old you have a saggy bum
Hey there Mr. Policeman
False alarm I am young you can't arrest me
Oh that didn't work
Oh they said that would work
My major's undeclared
My resume's unprepared
I ain't got no crow's feet
I mean no offense I mean it works for you I mean you look good
Do you remember when you were young
And you'd still wear a uniform and carry a gun
I bet you did
You're such a pig
Oh I mean that was wrong I mean I'm young and I don't know what I'm saying
Bum bum bum (etc)
Why do adults lie to little kids
When they're walking home from school
And do they know in 10 years they'll be peeing in a stranger's pool
Who can say poo-poo
At what we do
Cuz we're the youth we don't follow rules
Don't you think we know
That we're acting like enormous tools
Cuz you're young
Cuz you're young
Cuz you're young
You are young
Baby you are young
Baby you are young
Baby you are
Everyone does stupid things
This time you'll get it right
