Your mother she protected you
And softened every blow
And brought you up to fear the worst
To be careful as you goAnd the learned educators
With drip feed facts to fill
You up to here with reason
Well, meaning overkillIf you find yourself a-growing
To be old before your time
Get off the endless corridor
Set your soul out on the lineAnd drive on the young side of life
Drive on the young side of life
Drive on the young side of lifeWhen the pressure pains are building
And you're forced to join the crush
In the race to mediocrity
So respectable and plushAnd while the child within is raging
And threatens to break out
Get off the endless corridor
Make a timely turnaboutAnd drive on the young side of life
And drive on the young side of life
Drive on the young side of lifeDrive on the young side of life
Drive on the young side of life
Drive on the young side of lifeAnd drive on the young side of life
Drive on the young side of life
