A 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 they have a 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 that we`ve learned about happiness

Check it out
Forgot to say hello to my neighbors
Check it out
Sometimes I question my own behavior
Check it out
Talkin` about the girls that 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
Soarin` with the eagles all week long
And this is all that we`ve learned about living
This is all that we`ve 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
Hope 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 have a better understanding
Check it out.....
