[Verse 1:]

When I was young I cut a slug to see what lie inside

Squished a fly so I could spread what made it up and lied

I was young I killed small things for fun

Bugs don't get to be young

They don't even get to grow up

[Chorus 1:]

The longer you stay young the quicker you die

Oh when you're young you feel so much more alive

[Verse 2:]

As a kid, I flipped the rocks that roofed their skies

Buried bugs that belonged here to fly

Dug them out before they ran out of air

That's what makes me me, I get to care

[Chorus 2:]

Do you got a god who cares when you go?

Mine don't care so long as I end up at home

The longer you stay young the quicker you die

Oh when you're young you feel so much more alive

[Outro:]

They will never understand my pain

Over the pain that I have caused them

When I wash them suckers down the drain

I feel a hint of joy at having caught them
