lyrics

Don't listen to what they say
Don't listen to what they say
Double breasted, wingtips
Trying to get paid
Don't listen to what they say
Don't listen to what they say

This is the voice of the freedom of youth
This is the voice of the wisdom and truth
Old white men in business suits will chain you down and cut your roots
They'll sell you your dreams in a sedative pill
They'll promise you life then go in for the kill
They'll feast until they've had their fill
Write themselves into your will

Don't listen to what they say
Don't listen to what they say
Living cliches
Writing rules that they cannot obey
Get yourself away
Get yourself away
Or you'll be an old fuck too
They'll bury you in your business suit and no one will remember you

This is the voice of the freedom of youth
This is the voice of the wisdom and truth
Old white men in business suits will chain you down and cut your roots
They'll sell you your dreams in a sedative pill
They'll promise you life then go in for the kill
They'll feast until they've had their fill
Write themselves into your will
