lyrics
Everybody tries to tell the youth:
"Live life to the fullest.
Make every moment count,
Cuz life is short and precious."
How come it never sinks in?
No matter how hard we're listening
No matter how hard we concentrate
We only learn the hard way
So thanks for the warning
But it don't change nothing
Thanks for the warning
But it don't change nothing
I drive way too fast
Kill someone in a car crash
I know it's not impossible
To put someone in the hospital
How come it never sinks in?
No matter how hard we're listening
No matter how hard we concentrate
We only learn the hard way
So thanks for the warning
But it don't change nothing
Thanks for the warning
But it don't change nothing
Yeah we think we're so clever
Yeah we think we're so clever
Yeah we think we're so clever
But one day we'll know better
