For the Young

Anyone in there?

Knock, knock, knock

I think I see you among the shadows

They still cling to the wall

And your mind feeds them

You're the victim of lack of meaning

Feeling sorry is your favorite feeling

Why am I supposed to excuse you

Nod my head as if I'm amused

Give me a reason to lay down my guns

Who said youth is only for the young

You shut out the light in your home

All that remains is the echo of laughter

Someone left it there a half lifetime ago

Why am I supposed to excuse you

Nod my head as if I'm amused

Give me a reason to lay down my guns

Who said youth is

Why am I supposed to excuse you

Nod my head as if I'm amused

Give me a reason to lay down my guns

Who said youth is only for the young

Why am I supposed to excuse you

Nod my head as if I'm amused

You never gave up, you never begun

Who said youth is only for the young
