I write songs sometimes and if I like them I record them and if I really like them I record them again in a way that is *slightly* less sloppy.

Lyrics

you won't know what to do
when you're only 22
when you're only 22
just what will you do?

and you don't know who you'll be
by the time you're 23
when you turn 23
just where will you be?

and time
isn't on your side
you've gotta get it right
the first time
and time
you've gotta make an enemy
you've gotta make an enemy
to live your life

you'll be out your mother's door
by the time you're 24
when you hit 24
get our your mother's door

but you won't start your real life
until you hit 35
when you hit 35
get on with your life

and time
isn't on your side
you gotta get it right
the first time
and time
you've gotta make an enemy
you've gotta make an enemy
to live your life

the street will be your bed
you'll be wishing that you were dead
you'll be wishing that you were dead
but be careful what wishes are said

because you'll be on your way to heaven
before you hit 47
before you hit 47
well i'll see you in heaven


and time
isn't on your side
you gotta get it right
the first time
and time
you've gotta make an enemy
you've gotta make an enemy
to live your life
