Judas Priest — You Dont Have to Be Old to Be Wise

[Verse 1] I've had enough of being programmed And told what I ought to do Let's get one thing straight, I'll choose my fate And it's got nothing to do with you The years are flying by and it's time I got high Took a sample of the good things in life This is a chance, I'm going to take Gonna kick out trouble and strife [Chorus] I've grown sick and tired of the same old lies Might look a little young, so what's wrong? You don't have to be old to be wise [Verse 2] No, I don't care that the people stare Accuse me of going mad Just get a long hard look into the mirror Then, tell me now who's been had The way things are going I won't get to show 'em Go single all the time's up to me So it's off with the ties, no compromise Want to taste what it's like to be free [Chorus] I've grown sick and tired of the same old lies Might look a little young, so what's wrong? You don't have to be old to be wise [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] I've grown sick and tired of the same old lies Might look a little young, so what's wrong? You don't have to be old to be wise [Verse 3] Alright, I'll gather my things, go through the door Live and let live from now on At last a free hand, no longer pre-planned I got a will of my own I go as I please, fend for myself Pull all the stops, roll the dice Out on my own, gonna go it alone When I need it, then I'll ask for advice [Outro] You don't have to be old to be wise You don't have to be old to be wise You don't have to be old to be wise You don't have to be old to be wise You don't have to be old to be wise You don't have to be old to be wise You don't have to be old to be wise
