Lyrics

You look pretty
in your fancy dress
But I detect unhappiness.
You never speak
so I have to guess
You're not free.
Yeah, maybe when
you're old enough
You'll realize that
you're not so though.
And some days
the seas get rough,
You'll see.
You're too young
to have it figured out.
You think you know
what you're talkin about.
You think it all
will work itself out,
But we'll see.
When I was young
I thought I knew,
You probably think
you know too.
Do you?
Well, do you?
I was naive just like you,
I thought
I knew exactly
what I wanted to do.
Well, what you gonna do?
What a fool.
And how've you
gotten by so far
Without a head
and no visible scar?
No one knowin
who you really are,
They can't see.
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do now?
What you gonna do now?
The only way you'll
ever learn a thing
Is to admit that you know
absolutely nothing.
Oh, nothing.
Think about this carefully
You might not get another
chance to speak freely.
Oh, freely.
Maybe when you're old enough
Maybe when you're old enough
Maybe when you're old enough
You're not free.
You're not free.
