You Don't Have To Be Old To Be Wise Lyrics - Original Album Classics - Judas Priest

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 gonna take 

Gonna get out trouble and strife 

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

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 a show in 

Don't seem a lot of time, not to me 

So it's off with the ties 

No compromise 

Wanna taste what it's like to be free 

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 

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

Alright, I'm down on the reins 

Holding the rope 

Live and let live from now on 

And as the free hand 

Alone a free man 

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, gonna go it alone 

When I need it 

Then I'll ask for advice 

You don't have to be old to be wise 

You don't have to be old to be wise 

You don't have to be old to be wise 

You don't have to be old to be wise 

You don't have to be old to be wise 

You don't have to be old to be wise 

You don't have to be old to be wise
