You think of no one but yourself You see the rest of us as fools You think of no one but yourself And you see the rest of us as fools
He said, "Don't feel guilty, don't go crazy Don't get paranoid with me"
You play the Prophet like a man It makes no sense in the overall master plan
She said, "Don't feel guilty, don't go crazy Don't get paranoid with me"
The arrogance of the youth You wanna prove something Picking up a microphone Starts one thinking older
As the fear starts to grow inside See what it's like to live a lie Nothing is like you thought it was You felt the cause What you had, my friend is lost
Drifting away and if you play another day Long ago, my friends, long ago It doesn't matter what I say
You can push your luck away You can push your luck away Don't go crazy
Don't feel, feel, feel Don't get, get, get
Now y'all know I will Take you down with the sound So I know that time has passed Climb into another rhyme, designed too fast
From the well of deceit he has to move on It doesn't matter how we get a groove on Now you find that you were younger then Looking back, don't ever pretend
That it was good as it was not, that's what we got Busted out your friends, you know what you got The truth right in your lap, that's a fact, Jack The arrogance of youth is not claptrap
Nothing is right, everything is wrong Push your mike right to come along Too strong, uh huh, gettin' older And now you realize all the lies that were otherwise Because my eyes can see the truth and reality
Ten little girls come out to play They didn't stand a chance they got blown away (Say it isn't so)
Ten little boys come out to play They didn't stand a chance they got blown away (Say it isn't so)
Nine little girls got blown away (No, no, no, no) They didn't even have their own place to stay (Say it isn't so)
Nine little boys got blown away (No, no, no, no) They didn't even have their own place to stay (Say it isn't so)
The arrogance of the youth [Incomprehensible] The arrogance of the youth
