As you're starting out this life
Being taught the wrong from right
By those close to you inside the home

But then again adolescence kicks in
Where the troubles all begin
As you start to believe everything you think you know

And you can't just be told
By all those old-fashioned fools
Who are clearly way past their dawn

Soon enough though you'll know
The more row's you *** in your growth
You should have gone and left your well enough alone

You can fill your silly head
With what you think you know is best
But it is mostly talk with little show

Where one day you're sure to see
We all must pay for our on keep
In the throwing of life's dog a bone

And those that helped to raise you
Know a lot more than you knew
You learn now that you're grown

You finally find you realize
In the wisdom of hindsight
You should have gone and left well enough alone
