Here I go again living in the fast lane

Self-medicating trying to hide my vast pain

From the world

Fix the world with a piece of sticky plaster

Every day we face a new disaster

Every day

How old do I have to be

Before I learn

How old is the world

Old enough to know better

Old enough to know that love will be

The only thing to set us free

Every day we get a little faster

We spin around repeating all the past

Again and again

Drop me out I wanna change

Don't want to do it all again

This tired refrain

How old do we have to be

Before we learn

How old is the world

Old enough to know better

Old enough to know that love will be

The only thing to set us free

We know that history

Teaches nothing

We've all seen it all before

We know that history

Is full of suffering

So what's the future for

How old is the world

Old enough to know better

Old enough to know that love will be

The only thing to set us free
