I Don't Wanna Get Wise
The Who
He was drunk, I was blind
Though it's alright to be kind
I was sunk, always late
We were quick to rotate
Let's be blunt, I was a bluff
And the surreal life was tough
I was a runt, we told lies
But to our great surprise
All the shit that we did
Brought us the money, I guess
And those snotty young kids
Were a standing success
Helped us conquer and rise
And we learned in this town
We don't wanna get wise
(I don't wanna get wise
I don't wanna get wise)
Life teaches us well
We still pull, we get smug
And we all like a drug
All the four always sated
Path of elated
Let's admit our mistakes
Our triggered outbreaks
We were shits, oh, no disguise
And it is no surprise
That the crap that we did
Brought us money, God bless
And those snotty young kids
Were a standing success
Helped us conquer and rise
And we learned in this town
We didn't wanna get wise
(I don't wanna get wise
I don't wanna get wise)
Life teaches us well
Experiment, you universe
We'll ask why you've cheated us
Why set a fire you plan to douse?
Why set a rat to catch a mouse?
He was drunk (he was drunk)
I was blind (he was blind)
No, it's alright to be kind
I was sunk (he was sunk)
He was late (always late)
We were quick to rotate
We tried hard to stay young
But the hallows have sung
We've been starred, we've been prized
But you can see it in our eyes
(I don't wanna get wise
I don't wanna get wise)
We got wise!
(I don't wanna get wise
I don't wanna get wise)
We got wise
(I don't wanna get wise
I don't wanna get wise)
We got wise
(I don't wanna get wise
I don't wanna get wise)
We got wise
