Lyrics
Too many young and too many old
Too many people left you in the cold You want everything to change Cause you are afraid of losing
She only exists when shes on a screen He's only alive inside a machine We want everything to change Because we are afraid of losing
Tell me do you really need this Tell me do you really care Tell me do you really need this Tell me do you really care
Because I don't think you really need this I don't think you really care I don't think you really need this I don't think you really care
Too many young and too many old Too many people left you in the cold We want everything to change Now I'm so afraid of losing Yeah yeah yeah
Random 1-8
Too many people trapped in your mould
Is sung instead of the second line of the chorus.
