The Comrades: "Your Teenage Years Are Gone"

Written by Jimmy Williams and Randy Gaston. Copyright 1995.

Indecisiveness, such a childish act
Always pushing me to get your act straight
It's many years past sixteen, it's time for you to grow up
Before it's too late

Something out there more, you think
Your mind begins wandering
Time to realize there's no
Gold at the end of life's rainbow

Your teenage years are gone
Immature thinking can't go on
You're not another sheep to follow the flock
Be original, think of what you want
Your teenage years are gone

Your middle twenties had a lot to do with your friends' influence
The clothes you wore and what they thought of you
You always had to be part of the crowd
To drink, party and get real loud

Now you've come to the split in the road
Don't know which way you want to go
Which ever path you might undertake
Might leave you thinking you've made a big mistake

Your teenage years are gone
Youth can only last so long
It's tmie to grow up, time to get your act straight
Try to make the right choice, don't procrastinate
Your teenage years are gone

To figure out this mystery I'd be a sleuth
I'm tired of this bullshit to tell you the truth
Childish thinking leaves me aloof
In conclusion, you've outlived youth

Your teenage years are gone
Immature thinking can't go on
You're not another sheep to follow the flock
Be original, think of what you want
Your teenage years are gone
