D# Cm Gm Crimson flames tied through my ears G# A# D# Rollin' high and mighty traps D# Cm Gm D# Pounced with fire on flaming roads G# Gm A# Using ideas as my maps G# Cm A# D# "We'll meet on edges, soon," said I Cm G# A# Proud 'neath heated brow. D# Cm D# Ah, but I was so much older then, G# A# D# I'm younger than that now. D# Cm Gm Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth G# A# D# "Rip down all hate," I screamed D# Cm Gm Lies that life is black and white G# A# Spoke from my skull. I dreamed Cm Gm Romantic facts of musketeers G# A# Foundationed deep, somehow. D# Cm Gm G# Ah, but I was so much older then, A# D# I'm younger than that now. Girls' faces formed the forward path From phony jealousy To memorizing politics Of ancient history Flung down by corpse evangelists Unthought of, thought, somehow D# G# D# Ah, but I was so much older then G# A# D# I'm younger than that now. A self-ordained professor's tongue Too serious to fool Spouted out that liberty Is just equality in school "Equality," I spoke the word As if a wedding vow D# Cm Ah, but I was so much older then G# A# D# I'm younger than that now. In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand At the mongrel dogs who teach Fearing not that I'd become my enemy In the instant that I preach Cm G# D# My existence led by confusion boats Cm Gm A# Mutiny from stern to bow D# Cm G# D# Ah, but I was so much older then A# D# I'm younger than that now. Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats Too noble to neglect Deceived me into thinking I had something to protect Good and bad, I define these terms Quite clear, no doubt, somehow D# Cm G# D# Ah, but I was so much older then A# D# I'm younger than that now.
