little down on the upside

I got myself everything I need
Peace of heart
and my own two feet
Life might bring me more
Than what I need
Win or losing street
I got myself everything
real soon
Looking for a way to sail
the moon
Pick life up, take it
down high noon
Well it's just what you
choose
Still I 'm a little down
I'm down on the upside
A little up,
I'm on the downside
And I know what you need
Well we'll grow wise
when we're old
I hope you know what I need
So let's teach our children
what they need
to be taught
To be tauhgt
They say being young
is wasted on the youth
But they'll never find
a book that holds the truth
So keep yourself away
from higher notes
This is as low as I can go
While I'm a little down
I'm down on the upside
A little up,
I'm on the downside
But I know what you need
We' ll grow wise
when we're old
I hope you know what I need
Let's teach our children
what they need
to be taught
Yeah to be taught
