Your mother, she protected you, and softened every blow
And brought you up to fear the worst, to be careful as you go
And the learned educators with thrifty facts to fill
You up to here with reason, the meaning overkill
If you find yourself a-growing to be older for your time
Get off the endless corridor; set your soul up on the line

Drive on the young side of life

When the pressure pains are building, and you're forced to join the crush
In a race to mediocrity, so respectable and plush
While the child within is raging, and threatens to break out
Get off the endless corridor; make a timely turn-about

Drive on the young side of life
