| I don’t know what’s wrong with the youth of today |
| wondering lost, it’s true what they say |
| and who is to blame? t. v and magazines |
| they’d have you believe every day is halloween |
| why when I was a kid, playing in the ditches |
| living in fear of Satan and the Witches |
| the whole world was made of wood smelt like gasoline |
| the days were at least twice as long and the grass was green |
| Running from my life, I was cursed by a talking snake |
| could walk all day and throw rocks across the bottomless lake |
| There was a killer in the woods who would whistle |
| once in a while I could hear him shoot his pistol |
| and the other kids hated me |
| but like a martar I drove myself harder and harder |
| blood in my eyes, scrubbing to get the dirt off |
| I didnt say much didnt like to take my shirt off |
| I was quick but I didnt know the meaning of pain yet |
| I’d visit father bob and he would show me his train set, |
| tell me a story, offer me a glass of milk |
| send me on my way with a question to ask myself |
| The rain didnt bother me the search had meaning |
| church was good but I’d rather be dreaming |
| Highspeed horseshoes, harnesses and heavy strain |
| the problem is today they got an answer for everything |
| chorus: |
| 4−6-3 an x |
| an 'O' I can’t think of a better way to end the day |
| 4−6-3 a punch |
| a kick and I can’t think of a better way to end the day |
| 4−6-3 a yes |
| and no I can’t think of a better way to end the day |
| 4−6-3 it’s life |
| death and I can’t think of a better way to end the day |
| Learing the words turning the double play |
| doing some damage in my own subtle way |
| I’ve been all over, I’ve seen too much |
| I no longer feel the need to rush |
| I’m upside down, I’m inside out |
| broken glass all in my mouth |
| cut wide open and everybody knew why |
| cause when it comes to rocking something fierce hmm do I |
