When We Were 17

Scratching on a rash
Waiting for some cash
If I had a cool
Its long gone now
Struck a deal with a man
He said to dont mind his tail

Got my education
Through medication I
ts the only thing
That makes it go way
Made a deal with a man
He said dont mind my tail

Cause I'm not the one
That I used to be
I'm just hanging on
To this memory
Of an innocent and naive man
Back when we were seventeen.

Sweating like I'm burning
There's no higher learning
I was fooled
I was had
Then he was gone
Before I realized
You lift like a rocket
Then you sink like stone
First you lose your money
Then you sell your soul

Cause I'm not the one
That I used to be
I'm just hanging on
To this memory
Of an innocent and naive man Back when we were seventeen.
