The Young And The Restless

The Young And The Restless

Verse 1

Gathered around a table

In a well-designed boardroom

Ivy leaguers laying out a plan

With opinions and data collected from various sources

This information is as valuable as gold

There's a great desire to be still in body and mind

Suits and scientists are acting accordingly

Women will criticize each other for their shortcomings

Men will mock the ones who don't measure up

To their standards

No one goes unscathed

A nip and a tuck

With a radical change in values

Is what the professionals have agreed upon

Verse 2

Serial slashers are well-compensated

Their stock on the celebrity index increases

As lips become thicker, so do their wallets

The authentic movement is teaching the young

To embrace themselves as they are

But the fake industries work overtime

To create inferiority complexes

With funds that seem to be unlimited

This battle will be long and arduous

The professionals and simple folks

Will not give up the fight

There is just too much at stake

Bridge

With futures as bright as the sun

And high optimism

The agendas of men are put into effect

Everyone has a role to play

In this game of life

As the young and the restless

Chorus 1

We always want to be young

To be fresh and be full of life

Time is never on our side

Still, we always fight against it

Are we worthy of the efforts?

Do the ends justify the means?

What is the price to pay for a complete renewal?

Chorus 2

We always want to be young

(This won't be easy)

To be fresh and be full of life

(It will get ugly)

Time is never on our side

Still, we always fight against it

(Give the people what they want)

Are we worthy of the efforts?

(This won't be easy)

Do the ends justify the means?

(It will get ugly)

What is the price to pay for a complete renewal?

(We're the young and the restless)
