lyrics

Dumb Young

I kept the whole mean front up all night.
He deserved it.
He hung out with his roommates all night.
I was, like: I wanted to go out with him.

Dumb young, dumb, dumb young
Dumb young, dumb young dumb

Imagine a world outside; imagine a world
Imagine a world outside; imagine a world

So, imagine a world so slow
where everyone’s dumb young go
Smoking the world to show just what they feel like
So, imagine a world so slow
where everyone’s dumb young go
And smoking the world to show just what they feel like

Oh how it died young…

So, imagine a world so slow
where everyone’s dumb young go
Smoking the world to show just what they feel like
So, imagine a world so slow
where everyone’s dumb young go
And smoking the world to show just what they feel like

Old and young crime
Imagine a world; imagine a world

Oh how it died young
Whining all along
Ever right, ever wrong

She’s a total control hater.
What does that say about your character?
I’m normal. I was, like, scratching everywhere.

Old and young crime
Imagine a world outside; imagine a world
Old and young crime
Imagine a world outside; imagine a world

Dumb young, dumb, dumb young
Dumb young, dumb young dumb
