You Dont Have to Be Old to Be Wise — текст песни (Judas Priest)

Ive had enough of being programmed

And told what I ought to do

Lets get one thing straight

Ill choose my fate

And its got nothing to do with you



The years are flying by and its time I got high

Took a sample of the good things in life

This is a chance

Im gonna take

Gonna kick out trouble and strife



I grow sick and tired of the same old lies

Might look a little young

So whats wrong

You dont have to be old to be wise



No I dont care that the people stare

Accuse me of going mad

Just get a long hard look into the mirror

Then, tell me now whos been had



The way things are going I wont get to show em

Go single all the times up to me

So its off with the ties

No compromise

Wanna taste what its like to be free



I grow sick and tired of the same old lies

Might look a little young

So whats wrong

You dont have to be old to be wise



I grow sick and tired of the same old lies

Might look a little young

So whats wrong

You dont have to be old to be wise



Alright, Im 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 Ill ask for advice



You dont have to be old to be wise

You dont have to be old to be wise

You dont have to be old to be wise

You dont have to be old to be wise

You dont have to be old to be wise

You dont have to be old to be wise

You dont have to be old to be wise
