They told me I would be a king
Lived in castles made of gold
They told me I would feel the sun
Even when it's rainin' and cold
But I felt none
I felt none, I felt none
They told me I would have a queen
Played the banjo in my dream
They told me I would have a fountain
Full of love and full of tears
But I felt none
I tried hard, but I felt none
I am cold now, just cover me up
What do you do when you're only 18?
You're bored and tired of the same damn routine
You tell me to go and buy a new soul
And I'm sorry son, I can't afford a new one
Ooh, ooh
They told me I would have a dragon
Who would take me mountains high
They told me I would run in circles
Playin' child games in the sky
But I felt none
I was lied to, and I had none
They told me life would be so kind
And I won't ever feel the same
But in the end it's not like that
'Cause everything is just a game
And I had none
I felt none of this, I could feel none
I am cold now, just cover me up
What do you do when you're only 18?
You're bored and tired of the same damn routine
You tell me to go and buy a new soul
And I'm sorry son, I can't afford a new one
Ooh, ooh
