You Don`t Have To Be Old To Be Wise — текст песни (Judas Priest)

I`ve had enough of being programmed
And told what I ought to do
Let`s get one thing straight
I`ll choose my fate
And it`s got nothing to do with you

The years are flying by and it`s time I got high
Took a sample of the good things in life
This is a chance
I`m gonna take
Gonna kick out trouble and strife

I grow sick and tired of the same old lies
Might look a little young
So what`s wrong
You don`t have to be old to be wise

No I don`t care that the people stare
Accuse me of going mad
Just get a long hard look into the mirror
Then, tell me now who`s been had

The way things are going I won`t get to show `em
Go single all the time`s up to me
So it`s off with the ties
No compromise
Wanna taste what it`s like to be free

I grow sick and tired of the same old lies
Might look a little young
So what`s wrong
You don`t have to be old to be wise

I grow sick and tired of the same old lies
Might look a little young
So what`s wrong
You don`t have to be old to be wise

Alright, I`m gonna gather my things
Go through the door
Live and let live from now on
At last a free hand, no longer pre-planned
I got a will of my own

I go as I please
Fend for myself
Pull all the stops, throw the dice
Out on my own, gonna go it alone
When I need it
Then I`ll ask for advice

You don`t have to be old to be wise
You don`t have to be old to be wise
You don`t have to be old to be wise
You don`t have to be old to be wise
You don`t have to be old to be wise
You don`t have to be old to be wise
You don`t have to be old to be wise
