[00:16.300] Crimson flames tied through my ears
[00:19.510] Rolling high and mighty traps
[00:23.660] Pounced with fire on flaming roads
[00:27.100] Using ideas as my maps
[00:31.010] "We'll meet on edges soon" said I
[00:34.710] Proud 'neath heated brow
[00:37.930] Ahh, but I was so much older then
[00:41.950] I'm younger than that, now
[00:47.750] Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
[00:51.310] Rip down all hate, I screamed
[00:55.290] Lies that life is black and white
[00:58.330] Spoke from my skull, I dreamed
[01:02.450] Romantic facts of musketeers
[01:05.770] Foundationed deep somehow
[01:09.410] Ahh, but I was so much older then
[01:13.220] I'm younger than that now
[01:19.160] Girls' faces formed the forward path
[01:22.420] From phony jealousy
[01:26.570] To memorizing politics
[01:29.650] Of ancient history
[01:34.030] Flung down by corpse evangelists
[01:37.120] Unthought of, though somehow
[01:40.530] Ahh, but I was so much older then
[01:44.930] I'm younger than that now
[02:22.610] A self-ordained professor's tongue
[02:25.730] Too serious to fool
[02:29.500] Spouted out that liberty
[02:33.470] Is just equality in school
[02:37.330] Equality, I spoke the word
[02:40.930] As if a wedding vow
[02:44.270] Ahh, but I was so much older then
[02:48.340] I'm younger than that now
[02:54.170] In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
[02:57.510] At the mongrel dogs who teach
[03:01.470] Fearing not that I'd become my enemy
[03:04.550] In the instant that I preach
[03:08.400] My existence led by confusion boats
[03:12.360] Mutiny from stern to bow
[03:15.810] Ahh, but I was so much older then
[03:19.760] I'm younger than that now
[03:25.480] Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
[03:29.420] Too noble to neglect
[03:33.230] Deceived me into thinking
[03:35.590] I had something to protect
[03:40.380] Good and bad, I define these terms
[03:44.140] Quite clear, no doubt somehow
[03:47.320] Ahh, but I was so much older then
[03:51.700] I'm younger than that now
