As a kid I loved TV Watched cartoons as I fell asleep Never down on energy But now I'm older Nightly news is killing me Was all this happening when I was three All I want is to go back Youth is wasted on the young No idea what you'll become Think life's all about having fun I'll just go and get a drink You don't wanna know what I really think It'll kill your innocence The whole world has gone sad And I'm stuck I've lost track Would you take a hit of the past Where we could be blind too I'll give you my point of view Tell me would you go back 'Cause the whole world's gone sad I've been tearing out pages Slowly flipping through phases But everything stays the same No one wants to change Youth is wasted on the young No idea what you'll become Think life's all about having fun I'll just go and get a drink You don't wanna know what I really think It'll kill your innocence The whole world has gone sad And I'm stuck I've lost track Would you take a hit of the past Where we could be blind too I'll give you my point of view Tell me would you go back 'Cause the whole world's gone sad (Sad, sad, sad) (Sad, sad, sad)
