King Minus The Sage

When we grew up

We never thought our friends would die

When we grew up

We never knew what was to lose everything

And if I was I a hero

One of those I loved as a child

We could take on the wild

And those bad bad country boys

My mother would hold us

And father would know us

As we grew up to be the strong and gentle kind

We'd get real jobs

And then we breathe

The kind of air

That Independence brings

Then we'd wed our lovers

to be eternally together

We'd move into the outfeild

Where seniors play

Then we could move into the outfeild

Where our heroes play!

Yeah you do don't you

You always remember those days

When Johnny had steady fists to raise

Against the demons and monsters

That had haunted our fathers

When all we could think of

Was to hide under our sheets

Like cowerdly sheep

My mother would hold us

And father would know us

As we grew up to be the strong and gentle kind

We'd move into the outfeild

Where seniors play

Then we could move into the outfeild

Where our heroes play!

We were always led by example

But only as children

I have to be the leader today

Cause there's a mess where stuck in

Left for the children

To become a king without a sage

Is to be a leader today

When we grew up

We never thought our friends would die

When we grew up

We never knew what was to lose everything
