No one really knows just what they're doin' Fake it, try not to let it show If you find an ace Don't let 'em read it on your face They don't tell ya till you're old enough to know
Sometimes it feels like the rules are always changin' The darkness and the light just come and go Then before too long, you're on the edge of right or wrong They don't tell ya till you're old enough to know
It's mostly uphill goin' from the cradle to the grave A junkie needs a needle, a preacher needs a soul to save Stay somewhere in the middle Stand behind the things you say I guess we all just learn it as we go They don't tell ya till you're old enough to know
Don't ever trust a grown man with a nickname You will reap exactly what you sow Nothing worth a damn happens after 2 a.m. They don't tell ya till you're old enough to know
