lyrics

I hope we make it through the twenties
There’ll be so much more to see
Morning is a treasure, the morning is rich
You’ve got no one left to please
Oh yeah it’s true
It’s true
They’ve taken all the rules
Now they’re changing all the rules
Maybe they’re right
Maybe they’re right
But maybe they’re not

So blow out those candles, make a wish
That there is no more war, or they find a cure for cancer
Your eyes are staring back at me
They’re saying so much more than words could ever say
Oh it’s true
It’s true
They’ve taken all the rules
Now they’re changing all the rules
Maybe they’re right
Maybe they’re right
And maybe they’re not

I hope we make it through the twenties
There’ll be so much more to do and see
Yeah it’s true
It’s true
They’ve taken all the rules
Now they’re changing all the rules
Maybe they’re right
Maybe they’re right
And maybe they’re not
It’s true…
It’s true…
It’s true…

Romeo sat playin' every night
But no one ever listened
Romeo kept playin' every night
'til someone finally listened
