Fourteen to Forty-one
 
 Start blind, end up dumb 
 
 You're 16, You're 23, you're 32, you're 41....
 
  
  Gonna leave it all behind and not say sorry
 
 Yea you are always right, so why worry?
 
 You learn to steal and lie to friends -- You trust no one
 
 My birthday's comin' around again...
  
 
 14 to 41
 
 Start blind, end up dumb 
 
 You're 16, You're 23, you're 32, you're 41....
  
 
 And there is no other way -- And there is no other...
 
 I'm waiting for the bell to ring, I'm always older 
 
 Pressures and folds of fat and lip-stained lipstick calendars 
 
 all hide under marriage porcelain that I'm falling over
  
 
 My birthday, my birthday, my worst day 
 
 My Birthday's comin around again --
  
 
 14 to 41
 
 Start blind, end up dumb 
 
 You're 16, You're 23, you're 32, you're 41....
  
 
 14 to 41
 
 Start blind, always end up dumb 
 
 You're 16, You're 23, you're 32, you're 41....
 
 14 to 41
  
 
 You're all those things and then your none
 
 You're through all that, you've just begun.
