Stop This Train

No, I'm not color blind
I know the world is black and white
I try to keep an open-mind
But, I just can't sleep on this tonight

Stop this train
I wanna get off and go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can
But, honestly, won't someone stop this train?

Don't know how else to say it
Don't want to see my parents go
One generation's length away
From fighting life out on my own

Stop this train
I wanna get off and go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can
But, honestly, won't someone stop this train?

So scared of gettin' older
I'm only good at being young
So I play the numbers game
To find a way to say that life has just begun

Had a talk with my old man
Said "help me understand"
He said "turn 68, you'll renegotiate"
"Don't stop this train don't, for a minute
Change the place you're in"
