d.a. levy said that

those streets belong to the kids
and all i'll let you in on is this:
don't let yourself think it's the age of remorse when
of course, it's the time to rejoice
and us dumb ones sit way in the back
snickering at every joke that we crack
you can send us away.. but where will we stay?
i ask you, will i be one of them

and i'm not advocating anything
no, i'm not advocating anything

old men on the subway don't blink
they just drink, then they cough, then they drink
we won't be like them
we joke and we sing, but that's not what i really
think.
and i'll sip on my cup when i'm sad
i'll tell stories with my hands just like my ole' dad
there just ain't no use when you're feeling so loose
only one thing could bind you again

and i'm not advocating anything
no, i'm not advocating anything
i think, d.a. levy said that

little birds stop chirping
they're itching, yes and twitching
to leve.
my family can cry for me then
when i forget between here and heaven
the angels all stop and pour a bottle out
for all those who still
struggle
to live

and i'm not advocating anything
no, i'm not advocating anything
