lyrics

When i was seventeen i was so self assured, to
call me naive would be too kind
The things i said and did
must have seemed so cruel, but
i wasn't in my right mind
oh tel me have i really changed

when i was seventeen there was hope in my eyes, so
what dimmed the light
for all the pain i felt i'd do it all again, but
there's no turning time
oh, this empty glossy stare

always there is some one there to say to you
you are lucky you have got your health
the last thing that i want to hear
is i'll live long in this hell
oh well

when i was seventeen i had yet to know this shame, but
i still indulge in pride
for all the teachers there to push your ego down boy,
it's still your job to try
and i feel so unprepared

when i was seventeen there was hope in my eyes, so
what dimmed the light
for all the pain i felt i'd do it all again, but
there's no turning time
oh, this empty glossy stare

always there is someone there to say to you
you are lucky you have got your health
the last thing that i want to hear
is i'll live long in this hell
oh well

WHEN I WAS SEVENTEEN
I HAD KNOWN NO FEAR
NO LONGER SEVENTEEN
GET IN LINE OR CLEAR
