On the Illusions of Youth
When you're young you think it's forever,
You swear true love until you die,
But I warn you that you will never
Do anything but make people cry!
You're just a fool if you think I'm lying,
Life doesn't have any recompence,
A million people around you dying
But still you don't have any common sense!
You feel so safe and so secure,
And Mummy's arms will keep you warm,
But no-one will help you that's for sure
When you're far from shelter in the storm.
