Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I think we better listen
To these kids
We can't keep pretendin'
We know what we're doin'
I can't keep pretendin'
I'm afraid
If you'll sit and listen
I'll tell you a secret
[Verse 2]
We can do whatever we want
We can say whatever we mean
[Verse 3]
I have waited so long
Mrs. President
Matriarchs and Teddy Boys
Play in houses on the lake
How can we quit drugs
If you're gonna watch like that?
Give me five good reasons
You trust us with our future
[Verse 4]
We can do whatever we want
We can say whatever we mean
[Verse 5]
And if we don't care
Then who cares?
We've been dreamin' of you
Drinkin' from fountains of youth
And if we don't change
Then who'll change?
We've been dreamin' of you
Drinkin' from fountains of youth
[Verse 6]
I think we better listen
To these kids
I can't keep pretendin'
That I'm still asleep
And I can't keep pretendin'
I'm afraid
Was too stoned to call you
But I thought that you'd say
[Verse 7]
We can do whatever we want
We can say whatever we mean
[Verse 8]
And if we don't care
Then who cares?
We've been dreamin' of you
Drinkin' form fountains of youth
And if we don't change
Then who'll change?
We've been dreamin' of you
Drinkin' from fountains of youth
[Verse 9]
We can do whatever we want
We can say whatever we mean
We can do whatever we want
We can say whatever we mean
