Shakey Graves - Kids These Days Lyrics

Shakey Graves Lyrics

"Kids These Days"

I'm too young to die
Gonna live forever
I just wanna talk tough, look mean
Life is good at 17

One thing that I know is that
You don't know a thing
About me
You were the young, dumb, chosen one
Now you shake your head and say
Kids these days

Mirror, mirror, on the wall
What's the meaning of it all?

Wasted all the time
Nothing lasts forever
Maybe I should give up the good fight
Change my image overnight

One thing that I know is that
You don't know a thing
About me
I am the young, dumb, chosen one
Losing in the loveliest way
Kids these days

Mirror, mirror, on the wall
What's the meaning of it all?

Adolescent intuition
Murder on the rise
Make an easy million
Blow it in a night
Tell that I'm pretty
Tell me that I'm nice
I know you can see it in my eyes
You can see it in my eyes
You can see it in my eyes
See it in my eyes

Everybody tries
Tries to be somebody
To be somebody's wet dream, prom king
Golden boy, new toy
Mirror, mirror, on the wall
What's the meaning of it all?

Life is a honeymoon phase
Kids these days
Kids these days
Kids these days
