Cr imson flames tied through my ears
Rollin' h igh and mighty tra ps
Po unced with fire on flaming roads
Using i deas as my ma ps
'We'll meet on edges soon' said I
Pr oud 'neath heated bro w
Ah, but I was so much ol der then
I'm y ounger t han that now
Ha lf-wracked prejudice leaped forth
'Rip d own all hate' I scre amed
Li es that life is black and white
Sp oke from my skull, I dre amed
Romantic facts of musketeers
Found ationed deep somehow
Ah, but I was so much ol der then
I'm y ounger t han that now
In a s oldier's stance, I aimed my hand
At the m ongrel dogs who teach
Fearing n ot I'd become my enemy
In the i nstant that I pre ach
My existence led by confusion boats
Mu tiny from stern to bow
Ah, but I was so much ol der then
I'm y ounger t han that now
Ah, but I was so much ol der then
I'm y ounger t han that now

Yes, my g uard stood hard when abstract threats
Too n oble to negle ct
Dec eived me into thinking
I had s omething to prote ct
Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite c lear, no doubt, somehow
Ah, but I was so much ol der then
I'm y ounger t han that now
I'm y ounger t han that now
I'm y ounger t han that now
