I know you; you have a sterile soul
You said you knew me too,
But what you know don't show
Now, don't you give me the smiling brother kiss
Your heart is cold
Although you never miss, million dollar wish
You say I'm sold
But I'm a boy, I'm a boy
Whose travelling on the road
And I don't give a damn about
Your money or growing old
My Pa told me, "Now, boy you'd best beware,
This world is free, though some are unaware
Their living luxuries are here to tease so,
Don't you care
About burning misery or passing history so,
Just stay aware."
So I'm a boy, I'm a boy
Whose travelling on the road
And I don't give a damn about
Your money or growing old... So there!
Well, I'm on my way
Just travelling through my home
I had no need to say,
"This place is where I'm going."
So, when I pass you bye
'A twinkle in my eye,
Don't draw your guns
'Cause i'm only passing bye
High and dry but having my fun
'Cause I'm a boy, I'm a boy
Whose travelling on the road
And I don't give a damn about
Your money or growing old
'Said, ' Don't give a damn about
Your money or growing old.
I know you; you have a sterile soul
You said you knew me too,
But what you know don't show
Now, don't you give me the smiling brother kiss
Your heart is cold
Although you never miss, million dollar wish
You say I'm sold
But I'm a boy, I'm a boy
Whose travelling on the road
And I don't give a damn about
Your money or growing old
My Pa told me, "Now, boy you'd best beware,
This world is free, though some are unaware
Their living luxuries are here to tease so,
Don't you care
About burning misery or passing history so,
Just stay aware."
So I'm a boy, I'm a boy
Whose travelling on the road
And I don't give a damn about
Your money or growing old... So there!
Well, I'm on my way
Just travelling through my home
I had no need to say,
"This place is where I'm going."
So, when I pass you bye
'A twinkle in my eye,
Don't draw your guns
'Cause i'm only passing bye
High and dry but having my fun
'Cause I'm a boy, I'm a boy
Whose travelling on the road
And I don't give a damn about
Your money or growing old
'Said, ' Don't give a damn about
Your money or growing old.
