That it was good as it was not, that's what we got
(Say it isn't so)
The arrogance of the youth
They didn't even have their own place to stay
You can push your luck away
Too strong, uh huh, gettin' older
Picking up a microphone
It doesn't matter how we get a groove on
It makes no sense in the overall master plan
Take you down with the sound
It doesn't matter what I say
Busted out your friends, you know what you got
So I know that time has passed
[Incomprehensible]
As the fear starts to grow inside
Don't go crazy
Ten little girls come out to play
The arrogance of the youth
You think of no one but yourself
And you see the rest of us as fools
They didn't stand a chance they got blown away
See what it's like to live a lie
Starts one thinking older
From the well of deceit he has to move on
Now you find that you were younger then
Don't feel, feel, feel
(Say it isn't so)
Don't get paranoid with me"
Drifting away and if you play another day
(No, no, no, no)
Now y'all know I will
You felt the cause
Don't get, get, get
And now you realize all the lies that were otherwise
She said, "Don't feel guilty, don't go crazy
Nine little boys got blown away
They didn't stand a chance they got blown away
You can push your luck away
Nine little girls got blown away
The truth right in your lap, that's a fact, Jack
They didn't even have their own place to stay
What you had, my friend is lost
The arrogance of youth is not claptrap
(Say it isn't so)
You play the Prophet like a man
Ten little boys come out to play
(Say it isn't so)
Because my eyes can see the truth and reality
You wanna prove something
Nothing is like you thought it was
Push your mike right to come along
He said, "Don't feel guilty, don't go crazy
Looking back, don't ever pretend
Don't get paranoid with me"
Climb into another rhyme, designed too fast
(No, no, no, no)
Long ago, my friends, long ago
Nothing is right, everything is wrong
