The Other Option - House Of Lords

I was a kiddie in a candy store

Saved up my pennies and I hid them all away

And whiled away hours

To be a grown-up looked so wonderful

And even older children seemed to be so cool

Their hands on the steering wheel

If youth is wasted on the young

Well then age is just exhausted by the aged

I don’t care for getting older but it’s

Better than the other option

It’s much better than the other option

I don’t care for getting older but it’s

Better than the other option

So much better than the other option

I always thought that I was killing time

Until one day — epiphany just hit me — no!

The opposite is paradigm

And all the years I wasted in my head

Waiting for life to happen while those seconds sped

Now I chase every one 'til I’m dead

Yeah youth is wasted on the young

And now I’d like to register dissatisfaction

I don’t care for getting older but it’s

Better than the other option

It’s much better than the other option

I don’t care for getting older but it’s

Better than the other option

So much better than the other option

And you can’t tell 'em and I know why

And you can’t tell 'em, don’t you try

It’s plain to see when all is said and done

'Cause nobody could tell me when I was young

I don’t care for getting older but it’s

Better than the other option

It’s much better than the other option

I don’t care for getting older but it’s

Better than the other option

So much better than the other option

Oh whoahoh… Better than the other

Oh whoahoh… Better than the other

Oh whoahoh… Better than the other
