A million young poets screaming out their words
To a world full of people just living to be heard
Future generations, riding on the highways that we built
I hope they have a better understanding
Going to work on Monday
Got yourself a family
All utility bills have been paid
You can't tell your best buddy that you love him
Where does our time go
Got a brand new house in escrow
Sleeping with your back to your loved one
This is all that we've learned about happiness
Forgot to say hello to my neighbors
Sometimes I question my own behavior
Talking about the girls that we've seen on the sly
Just to tell our souls we're still the young lions
Getting too drunk on Saturdays
Playing football with the kids on Sundays
Soaring with the eagles all week long
And this is all that we've learned about living
This is all that we've learned about living
Check it out
Check it out
Check it out
Check it out
A million young poets screaming out their words
Maybe someday those words will be heard
By future generations riding on the highways that we built
Maybe they'll have a better understanding
Hope they'll have a better understanding
Maybe they'll have a better understanding
Maybe they'll have a better understanding
Hope they have a better understanding
Check it out
Check it out
Check it out
