mother likes my eyes of wonder she tells me that they wander all the whole day through but lately you say my eyes are faded how d i get so jaded at only 22 who cares what i ve done who cares the songs i ve sung i ll abandon it i m young who cares where i m from who cares my clothes are torn i ll abandon it i m young burning our youth to be discerning kicking rocks and learning ignorance is bliss stumble get lost in our jungle we don t have to crumble we can still be fixed who cares the words i ve slung who cares the road i ve run i ll abandon it i m young smoke from the starting gun is filling up my lungs i ll abandon it i m young young young oh we ve got the world at our feet let s kick it oh we ve got the world at our feet it s time for us to kick the dust oh oh it s time to let the old days it s time to let the old days rust who cares the hearts we ve stung who cares the webs we ve spun i ll abandon it i m young though i stumble every rung i m on the ladder to see the sun i ll abandon it i m young young young
