  • Million young poets
    Screamin' out their words
    To a world full of people
    Just livin' to be heard
    Future generations
    Ridin' on the highways that we built
    I hope, that they have better understanding

    Check it out
    Goin' to work on Monday
    Check it out
    Got yourself a family
    Check it out
    All utility bills have been paid
    You can't tell your best buddy
    That you love him
    So check it out
    Where does our time go
    Check it out
    Got a brand new house in escrow
    Check it out
    Sleepin' with your back
    To your loved one
    This is all, we have learned
    About happiness

    Check it out,
    Forgot to say hello to my neighbours
    Check it out
    Sometimes I question my own behavior
    Check it out
    Talkin' about the girls, we've
    Seen on the sly
    Just to tell our souls
    We're still the young lions
    So check it out
    Getting' too drunk on Saturdays
    Check it out
    Playin' football with the kids
    On Sundays
    Check it out
    Soaring with the eagles all week long
    And this is all, we have learned
    About living
    This is all, we have learned
    About living

    A million young poets
    Screamin' out their words
    Maybe someday
    Those words will be heard
    By future generations
    Ridin' on the highways that we built
    Maybe they'll have a better understanding
    Check it out
    Maybe they'll have a better understanding
    Check it out
    Maybe they'll have a better understanding
    Check it out
    Maybe they'll have a better understanding
    Check it out
    Hope they'll have a better understanding
