Young and impressionable me, me
Innocently read a magazine, Pop Queen
You said in
Your interview that at seventeen
You are the most
Powerful that you will ever be
See

Who gives you the right to
Sling that statement high and
Mighty, reckless, cause you're
New, new, new?

I don't regret the years
They've made me strong and better and
My hardships on their own
Are better that
You, you, youth, I'd never
Disrespect
The older that I get cause I know
That my hardships on their own
Are better than
You, you, youth and sugar

I read that long ago it seems
Well for me
It sprouted in my mind like a seed
With jealousy but
I'm reminded, I am not naive
That luxury is old cause
We are the new, the Gwen Stefani gold
Laughing cause

Who gives you the right to
Sling that statement high and
Mighty, reckless, cause you're
New, new, new?

I don't regret the years
They've made me strong and better and
My hardships on their own
Are better that
You, you, youth, I'd never
Disrespect
The older that I get cause I know
That my hardships on their own
Are better than
You, you, youth and sugar

Be wary of your tongue
Cause bleeding is better
Cause I was
Here when you were a young and frightened
You, you, you, you, youth
