I'm younger than that now
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
Girls' faces formed the forward path
As if a wedding vow
Too serious to fool
To memorizing politics
Quite clear, no doubt somehow
Unthought of, though somehow
Lies that life is black and white
Ahh, but I was so much older then
At the mongrel dogs who teach
My existence led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow
Pounced with fire on flaming roads
Too noble to neglect
Ahh, but I was so much older then
Ahh, but I was so much older then
"We'll meet on edges soon" said I
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy
Deceived me into thinking
Spouted out that liberty
In the instant that I preach
Of ancient history
Spoke from my skull, I dreamed
A self-ordained professor's tongue
Ahh, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
Proud 'neath heated brow
Foundationed deep somehow
Ahh, but I was so much older then
From phony jealousy
Using ideas as my maps
Ahh, but I was so much older then
I had something to protect
I'm younger than that now
Good and bad, I define these terms
Is just equality in school
Equality, I spoke the word
Flung down by corpse evangelists
In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
I'm younger than that, now
I'm younger than that now
Romantic facts of musketeers
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
Ripped down all hate, I screamed
