[Intro] Hard youth, hardly you Hard youth, hardly true [Verse 1] If it wasn't more than a single fleeting moment I guess you captured their gaze But you're far too young for that cigarette you're smoking The leather covers your legs Mother take you to the mall Father kisses your head But don't let 'em see That you think you're an anti-stat Something different, really real But you're not a contra And even the blandest of the bland wouldn't want ya [Chorus] Hard youth, hardly you Take your time, pay your dues You do look cool Hard youth, hardly true Take your time Do what you gotta do To look cool [Verse 2]x6 Let's get sold Oh Take my heart but not my soul I'll sell when I get old
