When we were kids, our dreams were invincible   When we were young, our whole lives ahead of us   And it was well understood we'd all become astronauts   And firemen      Let's not pretend, we all become famous   Let's not pretend, there's more to this than we hoped for      We knew the rules   When we were still children   You blow it, you fail it   Disappointment      It's well on its way, well understood   And you have a place to be {When we were young}   Time on our hands   Still out of our hands   Just like rain {It rained so hard}   Time ran away and left us afraid      Your parents are proud   You've got everything   No passion at hand   You'll be Ivy League      It's more probable   We all become salesmen   You know it, you fear it   Mediocrity      It's well on its way, well understood   And this is your life   Don't apoligize for what you are   Because you're a star      I hope you find contentment   I pray you find an answer   'cause life is better than your occupation   Revelation      When we {When we were young}   Were   Time on our hands   Still out of our hands   Just like rain {It rained so hard}   Time ran away and left us afraid      When we {When we were young}   Were   Time on our hands   Still out of our hands
