Young and carefree, I want to be
Yet when I look at what it offers me
It turns me off, I seek to flee
That which tries to ruin me
Youth be pure, but not anymore
Modern time saw to that
No depth, just one big bore
I can’t believe I wanted that
Living in the moment is a dream
Living a bad one, a nightmare
I want my life and soul to keep
But I wouldn’t mind some better fare
Though some think all is lost
And there’s evidence to the case
I believe there’s a chance to save
Before it all covers up in frost
