[00:05.59] Crimson flames tied through my ears
[00:10.11] Rollin' high and mighty traps
[00:15.28] Pounced with fire on flaming roads
[00:19.93] Using ideas as my maps
[00:24.72] "We'll meet on edges, soon," said I“
[00:29.95] Proud 'neath heated brow
[00:34.50] Ah, but I was so much older then
[00:39.61] I'm younger than that now.
[00:48.44] Half-cracked prejudice leaped forth
[00:53.07] "Rip down all hate," I screamed“
[00:58.48] Lies that life is black and white
[01:03.76] Spoke from my skull, I dreamed
[01:08.14] Romantic facts of musketeers
[01:12.86] Foundationed deep, somehow
[01:17.69] Ah, but I was so much older then
[01:22.39] I'm younger than that now.
[01:31.17] Girls' faces formed the forward path
[01:36.24] From phony jealousy
[01:41.34] To memorizing politics
[01:46.06] Of ancient history
[01:50.76] Flung down by corpse evangelists
[01:55.65] Unthought of, thought, somehow
[02:00.77] Ah, but I was so much older then
[02:05.81] I'm younger than that now.
[02:14.35] A self-ordained professor's tongue
[02:18.97] Too serious to fool
[02:24.31] Spouted out that liberty
[02:28.53] Is just equality in school
[02:33.15] "Equality," I spoke the word“
[02:38.11] As if a wedding vow
[02:42.43] Ah, but I was so much older then
[02:47.72] I'm younger than that now.
[02:55.69] In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
[03:00.64] At the mongrel dogs who teach
[03:05.50] Fearing not that I'd become my enemy
[03:10.58] In the instant that I preach
[03:15.40] My existence led by confusion boats
[03:20.40] Mutiny from stern to bow
[03:24.68] Ah, but I was so much older then
[03:29.80] I'm younger than that now.
[03:36.90] Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
[03:43.36] Too noble to neglect
[03:47.78] Deceived me into thinking
[03:51.92] I had something to protect
[03:57.27] Good and bad, I define these terms
[04:01.79] Quite clear, no doubt, somehow
[04:06.16] Ah, but I was so much older then
[04:11.61] I'm younger than that now.
[00:05.59] Crimson flames tied through my ears
[00:10.11] Rollin' high and mighty traps
[00:15.28] Pounced with fire on flaming roads
[00:19.93] Using ideas as my maps
[00:24.72] " We' ll meet on edges, soon," said I"
