Edward Sharpe And The Magnetic Zeros – When You're Young lyrics

Uncle Chive sits in by the bar through the night Won't you serve me one more memory Oh, when we, we were young In the sun there was ugly Kate by the sea With the belly full of little me Oh the song that she sung When you're young There's a world in a tiny town Where a girl chases rabbits round all day We play always when you're young I can see far away Heaven help the one percent We're not going to pay our rent on time I can see only grey All the world looks rosy when you're young Johnny Rass He's a loaded gun full of song Let him kingdom come undone Oh it's fun when you're young When you're young All the world is lost in the sun And the world can do no harm It seems we dream when you're young I can see far away Heaven help the one percent We're not going to pay our rent on time I can see shady grays Money in for cigarettes, hello money place your bets I can see color days Swimming at the summer shy Tell the teacher I'm out of my time I can see only grey All the world looks rosy when you're young Son, we wish you well Good health and fun When you're young Uncle Chive, with his teeth in hand Said "Goodnight, won't you please sing me a lullaby Of when I was young" Explain Request ×
