[Verse 2]
On an elliptical pedaling
Extra life with nowhere to be
Counting distance and calories

[Chorus]
Why would you want to be young again?

[Bridge]
Why would you want to be young again?
Free from your debts, not your trespasses
Why would you want to be young again?
Free from your debts, not your trespasses
[Chorus]
Why would you want to be young again?
Taxed by your fears, not your government
Why would you want to be young again?
Who has the time for the suffering?
Why would you want to be young again?
Taxed by your fears, not your government
Why would you want to be young again?
Who has the time for the suffering?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
