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)
