Fountain of Youth

"Fountain of Youth" Fifth track from Smile

''“Die young. Live fast, die young. Being 70 with dementia and Alzheimer’s with your bones crumbling under you because the human body wasn’t meant to last that long, does that sound fun? Working a 9 to 5 job where you get to go home, and barely sleep because you have more work to do at home, because you have to take care of the house. And then you wake up at 6.30, drive to your shit job, and then finally retire, and you’re too old to physically do half the shit you wanted to do. You have a world that’s convinced you that living long is so amazing. But live for a certain amount of years, push yourself to the edge, and die doing it.”'' - vocalist Elijah Witt -

Everyone says that the good die young But if I die young what will you say about me?

Everyone said I could change I could be saved I could be a nice motherfucker Everyone said it’s OK, there’s always a way But I don’t think I’m gonna get another

Everyone says that the good die young But if I die young what will you say about me?

I don’t care, I don’t care if I don’t make it This is the let down, I’ll never get out I don’t care, I don’t care if I don’t make it This is the let down so get down

You keep telling me I’m gonna be fine You keep telling me, empty promising Smiling bright until my eyes eat me alive Salivating me Shut the fuck up I just want it to stop

I don’t care, I don’t care if I don’t make it This is the let down, I’ll never get out I don’t care, I don’t care if I don’t make it This is the let down so get down So get down I don’t care, I don’t care if I don’t make it This is the let down

I’ll poison the water and jump in the lake I’m dried up and tied up in hopes I could stay They’ll find me on Monday in permanent sleep Now I am the fountain of youth that you seek

Everyone says that the good die young But if I die young what will you say about me?

I don’t care, I don’t care if I don’t make it This is the let down, I’ll never get out I don’t care, I don’t care if I don’t make it This is the let down so get down I don’t care, I don’t care if I don’t make it

This is the let down so get down
