lyrics

ACT YOUR AGE (m.krauss)

When I was a little boy, playing in the dirt,
didn’t care if I got dirty didn’t care if I got hurt.
Looking for adventure, ready for a fight,
and I had no trouble telling wrong what’s right.
Til I heard a voice from the side of the stage,
and my mama shushed me: “Act your age”.

Now I’m an adult, and I can’t believe
all the double standards, I’ve been so naïve.
And we don’t tell the truth (we shift our eyes and look away),
we won’t help each other (we always leave when we should stay). They tear some beauty down, we don’t lift a finger.
But we’re born to break right out of our cage
if the warden tells us: “Act your age”.

If you leave your mark, be discreet.
There’s enough graffiti on the street.
And the billboard signs block out the sky,
and the drone of the autos drowns the bird’s cry.
Oh, I’m gonna let fly with my fists of rage
if anybody tells me: “Act your age”.
We were born to break right out of our cage,
don’t listen when they tell you: “Act your age”
.
And what you’re feeling you need to tell them.
And when you feel it begin to swell, and
Nobody hears you if you don’t yell, then….
Don’t live cut off from how you feel.
