Lyrics:
- So young, so strong, ignorance is bliss
- Fenced in, caught up again, in a place like this
- Big people set the traps for you, using you-know-what for brains
- You're just another lab experiment, and you're easy to replace
- Too much, too soon, sensors overload
- Brought down, chased out of town, another dangerous road
- Simply a problem of biology, it's a choice you never make
- The scene is set, and you're subjected to a lethal dose of growing pains
- Think it through, laws were mostly made for fools
- Give in now, and be a has-been who never was
- They'll set you up with pains that grow
- So young, so strong, ignorance is bliss
- Fenced in, caught up again, in a place like this
- Big people set the traps for you, using you-know-what for brains
- You're just another lab experiment, and you're easy to replace
- Simply a problem of biology, it's a choice you never make
- The scene is set, and you're subjected to a lethal dose of growing pains
