Youth Is Wasted On The Young by The Shambles
The Shambles' Comments: Posted this song in the
'Why I Hate Folk Music Thread'. But I thought it
might be an idea to start a new thread for the posting of songs
on this subject.
If the truth be told,
Experience is wasted on the old
And youth is wasted on the young
When you have your youth
You have no finer weapon than the truth
And you wield it like a sword
When youth is gone
You need all your strengh just to go on
And the truth now cuts you to the bone
If the truth be told,
Experience is wasted on the old
And youth is wasted on the young
Which one is right
The one certain, keen and ready for the fight?
Or the one, unsure, who knows the price to pay
Who are the fools
The ones who want to change all the rules?
Or the ones, who have changed them once before?
If the truth be told,
Experience is wasted on the old
And youth is wasted on the young
Roger Gall 1997
