Joe Billy - Age Is a Social Construct (Built on Faulty Roots) Lyrics

So tell me why you have to be 21 to drink
While most 12 years olds I've met
Are more mature than most in their 40s
And they're the one's being irresponsible

And tell me why
They say children are the future
But once we have opinions, you shut us down instantly
While we're just living the way you taught us

Well here's a quick lesson for you

So I'll take this line from everyone who said it all before me
Cause goddamn, ain't it the truth
But if we're f*cked up, then who are the ones to blame?
Well it ain't us. It's you

And I'll ask myself before I die, am I happy with the way I lived my life
And when I get older, I won't feel like my life is over because
Age is just a number, age is just a man made number

So I'll take this line from everyone who said it all before me
Cause goddamn, ain't it the truth
But if we're f*cked up, then who are the ones to blame?
Well it ain't us. It's you

And when we do grow old, let's try our best and hope that we don't damage the generation after us

So I'll take this line from everyone who said it all before me
Cause goddamn, ain't it the truth
But if we're f*cked up, then who are the ones to blame?
Well it ain't us. It's you
