I'm younger than that now
"Rip down all hate," I screamed
Mutiny from stern to bow
Good and bad, I define these terms
I'm younger than that now
Ahh, but I was so much older then
Deceived me into thinking
In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
"We'll meet on edges soon," said I
Proud 'neath heated brow
I'm younger than that now
Too noble to neglect
I had something to protect
Using ideas as my map
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow
Foundation deep, somehow
Spoke from my skull, I dreamed
Half wracked prejudice leaped forth
Ahh, but I was so much older then
Sisters fled by confusion boats
I'm younger than that now
Lies that life is black and white
Ahh, but I was so much older then
Countless violent flaming roads
My guard stood hard when abstract threats
In the instant that I preach
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not I'd become my enemy
Ahh, but I was so much older then
Ahh, but I was so much older then
Romantic flanks of musketeers
