We've got to have faith in something biggerFaith in something biggerFaith in something big inside ourself
It might be cold but the heat of our love will meltThe snow we never feltWe're young and hardy again, we bow to weaker men
We've got to have faith in something biggerFaith in something biggerFaith in something big inside ourself
The more we learn, the less we believe to be trueThe more we prove, the more remains to be provedWe've gotta be strong men and follow a path again

The wing of the airplane has just caught on fireI say without reservation we ain't getting no higher
All you wanted from me, all I had to giveNothing matters you'll see, when in paradise you liveThe plane is diving faster, we're getting near the groundNobody is screaming, no one makes a sound
It's a girl, Mrs. Walker, it's a girlIt's a girl, Mrs. Walker, it's a girlIt's a girl, Mrs. Walker, it's a girlIt's a girl, Mrs. Walker, it's a girl

Oh well a young man ain't got nothin' in the world these daysI said a young man ain't got nothin' in the world these days
You know in the old daysWhen a young man was a strong manAll the people they'd step backWhen a young man walked by
But you know nowadaysIt's the old man,He's got all the moneyAnd a young man ain't got nothin' in the world these daysI said nothing
Everybody knows that a young man ain't got nothin'Everybody!Everybody knows that a young man ain't got nothin'He got nothin'Nothin'
Take it easy on the young manThey ain't got nothin' in the world these daysI said they ain't got nothin'!They got sweet fuck-all!
