Judas Priest - You Don't Have To Be Old To Be Wise [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
I've had enough of being programmed
And told what I ought to do
Let's get one thing straight
I'll choose my fate
And it's got nothing to do with you
The years are flying by and it's time I got high
Took a sample of the good things in life
This is a chance
I'm going to take
Going to get out trouble and strife

[Chorus]
I grow sick and tired of the same old lies
Might look a little young
So what's wrong
You don't have to be old to be wise

[Verse 2]
No I don't care that the people stare
Accuse me of going mad
Just get a long hard look into the mirror
Then, tell me now who's been had
The way things are going I won't get to show them
Go single all the time's up to me
So it's off with the ties
No compromise
Want to taste what it's like to be free

[Chorus][x2]

[Verse 3]
I'm going to gather my things
Go through the door
Every night I'll live on my own
I'd like to be there
And I'm going to be there
I got a will of my own
I go as I please
Fend for myself
Pull all the stops, roll the dice
Out on my own, going to do it alone
When I need it
Then I'll ask for advice

[Outro]
You don't have to be old to be wise [x7]
