Lyrics
HOW WILL I KNOW WHEN I'M OLD ?
HOW WILL I FEEL WHEN I'M TOLD /
HOW WILL I KNOW - HOW WILL I KNOW ?
HOW WILL I KNOW WHEN I'M OLD ?
HOW WILL I FEEL WHEN I'M TOLD ?
WHO WILL DECIDE -
WHO WILL DECREE -
WHEN IT'S APPLIED
APPROPRIATELY TO ME ?
HOW WILL I KNOW WHEN I'M OLDER ?
IS IT WHEN WINTER FEELS COLDER ?
THE SUMMER'S TOO HOT
THE HIT PARADE'S NOT
HOW WILL I KNOW WHEN I'M LOSING THE PLOT ?
HOW WILL I KNOW ?
THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF PEOPLE
SO I AM TOLD
THE HUMANOID YOUNG -
THE RHEUMATOID OLD -
THE YOUNG AND THE BLIND -
THE OLD AND RESIGNED -
THE YOUNG WHO WILL FIGHT -
THE OLD WHO ARE RIGHT -
AND I DON'T FEEL LIKE EITHER
