No one really knows just what they´re doin´
Fake it, try not to let it show
If you find an ace
Don´t let ´em read it on your face
They don´t tell ya till you´re old enough to know

Sometimes it feels like the rules are always changin´
The darkness and the light just come and go
Then before too long, you´re on the edge of right or wrong
They don´t tell ya till you´re old enough to know

It´s mostly uphill goin´ from the cradle to the grave
A junkie needs a needle, a preacher needs a soul to save
Stay somewhere in the middle
Stand behind the things you say
I guess we all just learn it as we go
They don´t tell ya till you´re old enough to know

Don´t ever trust a grown man with a nickname

You will reap exactly what you sow
Nothing worth a damn happens after 2 a.m.
They don´t tell ya till you´re old enough to know

It´s mostly uphill goin´ from the cradle to the grave
A junkie needs a needle, a preacher needs a soul to save
Stay somewhere in the middle
Stand behind the things you say
I guess we all just learn it as we go
They don´t tell ya till you´re old enough to know
They don´t tell ya till you´re old enough to know
