Time Only Knows

Oh such a funny boy, growing out of every toy
Seems it was but yesterday you were quite content to play
Now you ask so many "Why?" with such unaffected eyes
How can I start to explain how your toys weren't just a game?

When you grow up to be a man
You'll have to fight as hard as you can
Unless you live your life underground
Time only knows
When you grow up to be a man
You'll have to fight as hard as you can
Unless you live your life underground
Time only knows

Oh it's inescapable, knowing I'm incapable
Another flower starts to die, when you find you've lived a lie
But what is there I can do? As I grew up I was just like you
They come along and break your heart, the world and us are worlds apart

When you grow up to be a man
You'll have to fight as hard as you can
Unless you live your life underground
Time only knows
When you grow up to be a man
You'll have to fight as hard as you can
Unless you live your life underground
Time only knows
