16-22 Just picked the two ages as they're either side of both milestone birthdays we celebrate when we still have our youth.

lyrics

While I have your attention
Can I ask you to submit
To an informal debate
About whether you think.
Just that, do you think?
We don’t believe you do
Soon enough it’ll catch up
If you can’t
Just bring yourself to try
The mountain started as a mole hill
It gets steeper every day
Don't get put off by the path

I know the time is right
I know you’re still quite new to the logic
I know you won’t believe
All you have to do is open your eyes

Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Open your eyes

So we find out
We’re back to square one
Did you not listen to a word I said
Quite frankly if you just ignore
The warnings we gave you
Then you get what you deserve
We’ve been over this a hundred times
Why can’t you grasp this?
It’s not as if it’s something
That's never been tried before
It should be so easy

You know the time is right
You’re too stubborn to admit defeat
I know I don’t believe in you
My mind is firmly locked and there’s no way in

Pitted greasy skin
A voice that hasn’t broken
The world is against you
You’re the centre of the universe
We know, we were there first
Pull the wool over other eyes
