Lyrics

Adolescent Things

I was taking some time, just kicking back today.
I remember our world, and how much of it has changed.
Always looked to the sky, we were spreading our wings.
We were running around, getting into everything.

We were the new generation--everyone knows.
We were the new generation--that's how it goes.
We were the new generation--remember our clothes?

We were just tearing it up doing lots of crazy things.
Always pushing the edge, going to the extremes.
We were having lots of fun, sharing each our dreams.
We were some adolescent boys doing adolescent things.

Remembering the time back when we were in school
We'd start looking to bend just couple of rules.
We weren't breaking the law or doing anything
Except pushing the limit on couple of things.

We were the new generation--you'd better be aware.
We were the new generation--remember our hair?.
We were the new generation--what did we care?

We were just tearing it up doing lots of crazy things.
Always pushing the edge, going to the extremes.
We were having lots of fun, sharing each our dreams.
We were some adolescent boys doing adolescent things.

Now were whining of course, because we've gotten much older.
More burdens, of course, resting on all of our shoulders
Thinking that we'd rather go back to the day
When all of our worries seemed far away.

I here from those guys every once in a while
When I think of those times you know it still makes me smile
Thinking about all our crazy dreams--
Still holding on to these memories

We're still the new generation--without any hair.
We were the new generation--so why do you stare?
We were the new generation--you know we don't care.

We're still tearing it up doing lots of crazy things.
Always pushing the edge, going to the extremes.
We were having lots of fun, sharing each our dreams.
Now we're simply adults doing adolescent things.
