Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth, rip down all hate I scream
Lies that life is black and white, spoke from my skull I dreamed
Romantic flanks of musketeers, foundation deep somehow
   Ah but I was so much older...
In a soldier's stance I aimed my hand at the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy in the instant that I preach
My pathway led to confusion boats, mutiny from stern to bow
   Ah but I was so much older...

   Ah but I was so much older...
Yes my guards stood hard when abstract threats too nobel to neglect
Deceived me into thinking I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms quite clear, no doubt, somehow
   Ah but I was so much older...
   Ah but I was so much older...
   Ah but I was so much older...

E C# G# A B E

Crimson flames tied through my ears, rollin' high and mighty traps

E C# G# A B

Pounced with fire on flaming roads, using ideas as my maps

C# G# A B

We'll meet on edges, soon said I, proud 'neath heated brow

E A E

Ah but I was so much older then

A B E

I'm younger than that now

Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth, rip down all hate I scream

Lies that life is black and white, spoke from my skull I dreamed

Romantic flanks of musketeers, foundation deep somehow

Ah but I was so much older...

In a soldier's stance I aimed my hand at the mongrel dogs who teach

Fearing not that I'd become my enemy in the instant that I preach

My pathway led to confusion boats, mutiny from stern to bow

Ah but I was so much older...

Deceived me into thinking I had something to protect
