lyrics
Young men, they don't take what they've been given
Young men, they sing songs about young women
They just want to live forever they just want to live forever
Amen
In a song, when they're gone, Amen
And girls, you know I hear that they buy potions
Girls, they but creams and lotions.
They just want to live forever they just want to live forever
Like a daisy never fades, Amen
Young brides, they live on through their children
And architects, they live on through their buildings
Presidents get statues of themselves
Novelists get their books on dusty shelves
Old men, they are never in a hurry
Old men, their faces free from worry
They don't care to live forever
They don't care to live forever, Amen
Just to greet the end, like a friend, Amen
The stone, it returns to the ground
There are no ghosts, no promises of sacred sounds
And the statue disintegrates,
And ever word fades from every page
Young men, we don't take what we've been given
Young men, we write songs about young women
We all just want to live forever and we are sorry we will never
