Epic pumping disco-rock, the closing track for Airfix Democracies.
lyrics
Can't you see I wanted something more, than this dirty score
I was given anything I should hope for
So why do I feel taken for a metaphor of failure
Loser on an overdose of ideas, wading through the comatose
A sea of apathetic machinery
And all I needed, all I need was time
But I remember being foolish, I said things as I saw them
And I never took nothing from no-one
Now my youth is disappearing, I take more than I'm given
But I'm fighting all the way on the run
If I can be wrong, maybe I can be young
Maybe I can be strong, maybe my mistakes can be undone
If I can be wrong, maybe I can be young
Maybe I can be strong, maybe my mistakes can be undone
Can't you see I've always had an ugly side, like we all do
It's something that we shouldn't hide, we must fight it, trap it in the open not just token resistance
Caught between immovable angels, irresistable mountains
I was taught just how to climb them, but there's always a down side
And all I needed, all I need was time
But I remember being foolish, I said things as I saw them
And I never took nothing from no-one
Now my youth is disappearing, I take more than I'm given
But I'm fighting all the way on the run
If I can be wrong, maybe I can be young
Maybe I can be strong, maybe my mistakes can be undone
If I can be wrong, maybe I can be young
Maybe I can be strong, maybe my mistakes can be undone
