Little Down On The Upside

I got myself everyting I need
Peace of heart and my own two feet
Life might bring me more than what I need
Win or losing street

I got myself everything real soon
Looking for a way to sail the moon

Pick life up, take it down high noon
Well, it's just what you choose

Still I'm a little down
I'm down on the upside
A little up, I'm up on the downside
And I know what you need
Well, we'll grow wise when we're old
I hope you know what I need
So let's teach our children what they need
To be taught, to be taught

They say, being young is wasted on the youth
But they'll never find a book that holds the truth
So you keep yourself away from higher notes
This is as low as I can go

While I'm a little down
I'm down on the upside
A little up, I'm up on the downside
But I know what you need
We'll grow wise when we're old
I hope you know what I need
So let's teach our children what they need
To be taught, yeah, to be taught
