Judas Priest - You Don't Have to Be Old to Be Wise

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 get 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 I'm gonna gather my things Go through the door Every night I'll live on my own I'd like to be there And I'm gonna be there I got a will of my own I go as I please Fend for myself Pull all the stops, roll 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 [fade]
