When We Are Young

Dead Indian

November 11, 2014

Lyrics

When we are young we will clothe ourselves
And go walking in the rain
When we are old we will try to hide
The mistakes we have made
We have made

When we are old the young will come from behind
And push us in our graves
When we are old we will leave behind
Everything that we gained
We have gained

I don't wanna find myself
I don't wanna find myself
'cause they cheat you
And they beat you
And they eat you

I don't wanna find myself
I don't wanna find myself
'cause they cheat you
And they beat you
And they eat you

“Eeh-weehweeheehweeh-eh eeh
I'd go toe to toe with any old toad
Just to tell him I'm a fan of his
American amphibian soul”
