Younger Years

In our younger years, when we were kids
We never asked for answers, we didn't give a shit
In our younger years, we would drive
Out in search of honey, we never feared the high
What do you wanna be when you grow up?

What do you wanna be when you grow up?
I don't know, I don't know
You wanna swig from the bottle or sip the cup?
I don't know, I don't know
Mom says you wanna be an astronaut
I don't know, I don't know
Do you think you wanna help the world or not?
I don't know

In our younger years, we would burn
Every ounce of karma, we never seemed to learn
In our younger years, we get high
Challenge those in charge, make 'em look us in the eye, go

What do you wanna be when you grow up?
I don't know, I don't know
You wanna swig from the bottle or sip the cup?
I don't know, I don't know
Mom says you wanna be an astronaut
I don't know, I don't know
Do you think you wanna help the world or not?
I don't know, I don't know
What do you wanna be when you grow up?

In our later years, we got old
We held onto rust that we mistook for gold
In our younger years, we had it made
We'd do it all again, exactly the same way, go
What do you wanna be when you grow up?

What do you wanna be when you grow up?
I don't know, I don't know
You wanna swig from the bottle or sip the cup?
I don't know, I don't know
Mom says you wanna be an astronaut
I don't know, I don't know
Yeah do you think you wanna help the world or not?
I don't know

Well, you don't have to worry if you don't get old
Don't get old, don't get old
You don't have to worry if you don't get old
Don't get old, don't get old
You don't have to worry if you don't get old
Don't get old, don't get old
You don't have to worry if you don't get old
Don't get old
