You Don't Have To Be Old To Be Wise Lyrics
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
Took a sample of the good things in life
This is a chance
I'm gonna take
Gonna kick out trouble and strife
Might look a little young
So what's wrong
You don't have to be old to be wise
Accuse me of going mad
Just get a long hard look into the mirror
Then, tell me now who's been had
Go single all the time's up to me
So it's off with the ties
No compromise
Wanna taste what it's like to be free
Might look a little young
So what's wrong
You don't have to be old to be wise
Might look a little young
So what's wrong
You don't have to be old to be wise
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
Fend for myself
Pull all the stops, throw the dice
Out on my own, gonna go it alone
When I need it
Then I'll ask for advice
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
first true heavy metal album? please man, the album's great, but Stained Class wins that award. I think that that particular album defined Priest's image.
and yeah, this song is so much of an anthem, that I was brave enough to use it in my SAT essay this year about listening to elders because of their knowledge, and I consider myself a bright kid with a strong, successful future, not a mediocre burger flipper.
This is the ultimate anthem for teens to give their parents. It's one of those "don't run my life" songs.
What the fuck is wrong with people? Seriously, there are now only 2 fucking comments on a song from what many consider to be the first true Heavy Metal album, not to mention one of the best.
Anyway, you're right Aniland, this song is truly an anthem.
Such a Great Priest Song! Talks about not having to be Old to be Wise!
