I'm younger than that now
I'm younger than that now
Girls faces formed the forward path
Ah, but I was so much older than
My guard stood hard
Proud 'neath heated brow
I had somethin' to protect
We'll meet on edges soon said I
From phony jealousy
I'm younger than that now
Flung down by corpse evangelists
Ah, but I was so much older than
Foundation deep somehow
Ah, but I was so much older than
Unthought of, though, somehow
I'm younger than that now
To memorizin' politics
Rip down all hate I screamed
Deceived me into thinkin'
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow
Of ancient history
When abstract threats too noble to neglect
Pounced with fire on flamin' roads
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
Usin' ideas as my maps
I'm younger than that now
I'm younger than that now
Good and bad, I define these terms
I'm younger than that now
Ah, but I was so much older than
Spoke from my skull I dreamed
Lies that life is black and white
Ah, but I was so much older than
Romantic facts of musketeers
I'm younger than that now
