I grew up sheltered and innocent<br />
Found LSD as an escape from stress<br />
Only knew where I was coming from<br />
Didn't care where I was going or what I'd become<br />
<br />
14 years old, full of LSD<br />
Cuz that's what I wanted to be<br />
It was always so much fun<br />
Freedom to do whatever I chose<br />
Freedom to dose and dose and dose<br />
In a park, frying under the sun<br />
<br />
Those times are gone<br />
Those times will never be gone<br />
<br />
Guess I missed a lot of growing up<br />
And now I'm just catching up<br />
But sometimes when things get too much to deal with<br />
I wish I could blow off the world<br />
Like I did when I was younger<br />
<br />
18 years old, I don't feel as free<br />
I miss the way things used to be<br />
But I know it wasn't always that much fun<br />
It's too easy to rationalize<br />
And start believing your own lies<br />
And now I know that's what I've done<br />
<br />
Those times are gone<br />
Don't know why that I try to hold<br />
<br />
Those times will never be gone
