An Ode to Youth... Youth is ... Falling in love with pizza for the first time. It's sneaking into the girls' bathroom Then getting high-fives from all your buddies. Youth is the taste of the soap That your mum just shoved down your throat for saying a cuss word. It's fidgeting through church And your parents telling you to knock it off. It's staying out past sunset And being afraid of your mother's wrath when you return. Youth is becoming a superhero After climbing into your "special" full-bodypajamas. It's thinking McDonald's is a classy restaurant And it's your mum taking you trick-or-treating. Don't forget that it's boundless energy Andit's transforming your couch into a race car, And competing in the British Grand Prix. It's longing to drive a real car, And it's longing to be older and getting a job ... So you can fly in space ... And fight fires ... Arrest bad guys All in the same day.
