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