SONG:Check It Out

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
gettin´ 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
check it out ...
