"Wasted youth" as they say
It's too late to reprehend
I don't want to follow that way
These years are here to be spent
This narrow education
Didn't succeed anyway
An inculcated vocation
Never incites to obey

I could wear a suit and tie
Maybe live a sheltered life
But instead I waste my time
In the electric jive

Playing bright and noisy
distorted pantomine
When the days get cold and rainy
Haven't got a spare dime
Though you can't stand to see me
Sleeping all day like a log
It sounds really better to me
Than working like a dog

I could wear a suit and tie
Maybe live a sheltered life
But l'd rather spend my time in the electric jive
