I got myself everything I need
Peace of heart and my own two feet
Life might bring me more than what I need
Win or losing street
I got myself everything real soon
Looking for a way to sail the moon
Pick life up, or take it down high noon
It’s just what you choose

Still I’m a little down, down on the upside
Little up, up on the downside

I know what you need
We’ll grow wise when we’re old
I hope you know what I need
We’ll teach our children what they need to be taught
To be taught

They say being young is wasted on the youth
They’ll never find a book that holds the truth
So keep yourself away from higher notes
This is as low as I can go

While I’m a little down, down on the upside
Little up, up on the downside

I know what you need
We’ll grow wise when we’re old
I hope you know what I need
We’ll teach our children what they need to be taught
To be taught
