The Young And The Restless

Verse 1
Gathered around a table
In a well-designed boardroom
Ivy leaguers laying out a plan
With opinions and data collected from various sources
This information is as valuable as gold
There's a great desire to be still in body and mind
Suits and scientists are acting accordingly

Women will criticize each other for their shortcomings
Men will mock the ones who don't measure up to their standards
No one goes unscathed
A nip and a tuck
With a radical change in values
Is what the professionals have agreed upon

Verse 2
Serial slashers are well-compensated
Their stock on the celebrity index increases
As lips become thicker, so do their wallets
The authentic movement is teaching the young
To embrace themselves as they are
But the fake industries work overtime
To create inferiority complexes
With funds that seem to be unlimited
This battle will be long and arduous
The professionals and simple folks
Will not give up the fight
There is just too much at stake

Bridge
With futures as bright as the sun
And high optimism
The agendas of men are put into effect
Everyone has a role to play
In this game of life
As the young and the restless

Chorus 1
We always want to be young
To be fresh and be full of life
Time is never on our side
Still, we always fight against it
Are we worthy of the efforts?
Do the ends justify the means?
What is the price to pay for a complete renewal?

Chorus 2
We always want to be young
(This won't be easy)
To be fresh and be full of life
(It will get ugly)
Time is never on our side
Still, we always fight against it
(Give the people what they want)
Are we worthy of the efforts?
(This won't be easy)
Do the ends justify the means?
(It will get ugly)
What is the price to pay for a complete renewal?
(We're the young and the restless)
