If only I knew then what I know now
I would have changed my ways, I'd surely know how.
I'd never do what I did again
And it would cause everyone alot less pain.

But kids these days they grow up too fast
I don't know why they don't make their childhood last.
They want to drink, they want to smoke,
Next thing you know their taking a toke!

I don't think they know what their getting into,
Their doing what their friends want them to do.
They don't realize the risks that they're taking
And the mess of their lives they could be making.

They skip school till they finally quit
Just to walk down the street with a cigarette lit.
They have no money, they have no jobs
They just wonder around looking for people to rob.

Till finally one day the police are near
The burglar alarms they do hear.
The whole bunch they get arrested
They should have stayed in school and got their IQ's tested!!
