Lyrics

Birds bring me this message It helps to start my day Heaven still does us favors Like the Indians used to say Keeping alive in a dying world The basics remain the best way This ain't nothing you haven't heard But the new age is here to stay So young you should not be lazy Work hard, but don't make yourself crazy Who's gonna listen when you disapprove? They say the excuses have all been used Giving this world all you can of yourself And somebody still isn't satisfied Trust yourself, if no one else Be strong, you know you're gonna make it Young! Savage! And only seventeen Big! Power! You're my living dream Super! Great! The leader of the scene So young, savage, and only seventeen, only seventeen So young, so strong, I will follow you So big, so great, I'm in love it's true Get me, I'm ready, if not I will be blue If you want me to I'd follow you Just ask me to, yes I love you Nothing in the world comes before it's time Like it or not, so is this life designed Old dogs and new tricks must be kept apart So when you give love it must be from the heart Young! Savage! But only seventeen Big! Power! You're my living dream Super! Great! The leader of the scene So young, savage, and only seventeen, only seventeen So young, so strong, I will follow you So big, so great, I'm in love it's true Get me, I'm ready, if not I will be blue You're too young to be exposed Radiation's burning through your clothes Your heart's on fire, your mind's ablaze In (AN AGE OLD) a stranger waits Youire seventeen, a teenage dream Your heart is the rhythm of the acid scene Whereis a nightclub icuz you gotta go The people know where the bass bands blow And the rhythm and the body But youire not satisfied You wanna take your mind on a little ride You're only seventeen and right through the night So (?) the wisdom of your life Make me your queen You are my dream I know you're big I hope you'll dig My Angebot I'm the Chinese Goat If you want me to I'll follow you Just ask me to Yes I love you ...
