Hanson - Young And Dumb Lyrics






I pursued happiness
A tapestry of fluorescent bliss
But I'm dying on the vine

Don't recognize the view from here
A poor reflection in the rearview mirror
Of my own design

Every day is moving faster
Wanna hide from the disaster
But I'm a prisoner of my time

I'd rather be young and dumb
Surrounded by the possibility
Don't want to be old and numb
Wanna tell myself a lie I can believe
I wanna be young and dumb

I tried living in the ivory tower
Held down three jobs at ten an hour
Just to get into the door

Been a hero and a deadbeat
A pencil pusher and a piece of meat
Wish I could forget what I know

And when my eyes are clear
I see good intentions are a cheap veneer
For every evil justified

I'd rather be young and dumb
Surrounded by the possibility
Don't want to be old and numb
Wanna tell myself a lie
Wanna tell myself
I'd rather be young
And dumb

It's hard enough
To know it's not enough to know better
If these aching bones
And these jagged stones go together
Well I'd rather be young

Ashes to ashes
We all end up in a casket
Guess I'm fighting for my life

I'd rather be young and dumb
Surrounded by the possibility
Don't want to be old and numb
Wanna tell myself a lie
Wanna tell myself
I'd rather be young and dumb

  1. J.... M....

    Wonderful❤️

    What an amazing song! I would really appreciate if you could upload the other songs of the EP :)

  3. B.... K....

    My favourite off the Animal Instincts EP, along with Working <3. These guys are the soundtrack to my life!

  4. S.... L....

    There's usually that 1 song on each members EP that instantly becomes my favorite and I'd kill for it to be on a full length album. This is definitely that song from Animal Instincts! SUCH a gorgeous song, and the lyrics are amazing <3 I know they've been taking a bit of a break from the full length, wide release album model, but whatever they choose for their next widely released music to be... I really really hope Young and Dumb and No Rest for the Weary are on it!

    I know this comment is a year old, but if you see this reply, supposedly Hanson is releasing a new studio album sometime in the middle of 2020. It is being called "Against The World". I'm so excited for it to come out! Hanson is one of my favorite artists of all time! :)

    @Brandon Hirsch I knoow I am SO freaking excited for Against the World!! I know they've been plenty busy the last few years, and I did love String Theory a lot, but man have I so been itching for a bunch more new Hanson music <3
