If you were looking for a hand to hold y'know you were a long way off

If you were looking for conversations y'know you were a long way off

Stop searching for more confusion

No one needs anymore of that

And no one cares what you've been doing

We're ten million identical brats

So ah ah ah ah ahhh

We all act the same

Ah ah ah ah ahh

Cus we all grew up on the same street

Ah ah ahhh

We're packing in close together ah ah ahh

So you can really fele the hurt and reach out and touch my shirt

You don't have to be a pessimist

No no

Mary graduates today and she doesn't know what to do

Jeannie just wants a lover but they're all hidden away from view

Oh later they'll claim these were the best days

And not remember how sad they really were

Adulthood's a big surrender and it's so ah ah ah ah ahhh

Celebrate your wealth ah ah ahhh

And don't get scared just yet ah ah ahh

You won't be any better with years ah ah ahh

You'll say- "ignorance was bliss"

And you'll think you know much more

But you won't know any more

I know it's hard to be an optimist

But just learn to be an optimist

You don't have to be a pessimist

No no
