Lyrics Older And Wiser - Teresa Brewer

Don't like society?
Then you can't help but see
You've rabid dogs upon your heels
Not feeling like the rest?
Just take another test
Gauge each emotion that you feel
Keep in mind
9 out of 10 ain't bad
Trapped in bureaucracy
Or lost in ecstasy?
No matter which I'm sure you'll yearn
To learn that heresy
And acts of god and me
Are machinations of this world
Keep in mind
9 out of 10 ain't bad
What do you do when all that's coming down on you
Says that you're older - you're older
And every day you see the lines on every face
And you feel older but none the wiser
Enraged by apathy cold hearts in atrophy
A generation quite disturbed
The iron curtain fell now life's a private hell
Perpetually unperturbed
Keep in mind
9 out of 10 ain't bad
What do you do when all that's coming down on you
Says that you're older - you're older
And every day you see the lines on every face
And you feel older but none the wiser
Tell me it's true - why don't you
Tell me it's true as we grow older
We should grow bolder
Tell me it's true 'cause I would love to be like you
Older and wiser, too
