A million young poets screamin' out their words
to a world full of people, just living' to be heard
Future generations ridin' on the highways that we built
I hope they have a better understanding.
(Check it out) Goin' to work on Monday
(Check it out) Got yourself a fam'ly
(Check it out) All utility bills have been paid.
You can't tell your best buddy that you love him.
(So check it out) Where does our time go?
(Check it out) Got a brand new house in escrow
(Check it out) Sleepin' with your back to your loved one.
This is all that we've learned about happiness.
x's 3
(Check it out) Forgot to say hello to my neighbors
(Check it out) Sometimes I guestion my own behavior
(Check it out) Talkin' about the girls we've seen on the sly,
just to tell our souls we're still the young lions.
(So check it out) Getting' too drunk on Saturdays.
(Check it out) Playin' football with the kids on Sundays.
(Check it out) Soarin' with the eagles all week long
and this is all that we've learned about living.
This is all that we've learned about living.
Check it out!
x's 3
A million young poets screamin' out their words
Maybe some day those words will be heard
By future generations ridin' on the highways that we built.
Maybe they'll have a better understanding.
(Check it out) Hope they have a better understanding.
(Check it out) Maybe they'll have a better understanding.
(Check it out) Maybe they'll have a better understanding.
(Check it out) Hope they have a better understanding.
