When I was a cool young one
(When she was a cool young one)
I worked in the colony, paying my dues
Accepting without question the prevailing news
That a young girl's life was one long grind.
Digging holes, standing guard 'till it crossed my mind.
I was wrong, all along
all that I needed, was to have heeded.

Ain't no passin' craze
It means no worries
For the rest of your days
It's our problem free

When I was a shallow youth
(When she was a shallow youth)
Cool calm reflection
I was never that good
I wasn't born in the game
I saw no trees for the wood
My future stretched behind me
I was over the hill
I put my best foot forward
While the other stood still
Take my word
(Take her word)
I have heard
All that I needed
Was to have heeded.

I hope I have conveyed
You don't have to bust a gut in the sun
It's much cooler in shade.
Some say it's just a waste of time
But they don't realize
That view is nothing but a crime
We are creatures worthywise
