I got myself everyting I need Peace of heart and my own two feet Life might bring me more than what I need Win or losing street I got myself everything real soon Looking for a way to sail the moon Pick life up, take it down high noon Well, it's just what you choose Still I'm a little down I'm down on the upside A little up, I'm up on the downside And I know what you need Well, we'll grow wise when we're old I hope you know what I need So let's teach our children what they need To be taught, to be taught They say, being young is wasted on the youth But they'll never find a book that holds the truth So you keep yourself away from higher notes This is as low as I can go While I'm a little down I'm down on the upside A little up, I'm up on the downside But I know what you need We'll grow wise when we're old I hope you know what I need So let's teach our children what they need To be taught, yeah, to be taught
