[Verse 1]
A million young poets
Screamin' out their words
To a world full of people
Just livin' to be heard
[Verse 2]
Future generations
Ridin' on highways that we build
I hope they have a better understanding
[Verse 3]
Check it out
Goin' to work on Monday
Check it out
Got yourself a family
Check it out
All utility bills have been paid
Can't tell your best buddy that you love him
[Verse 4]
So check it out
Where does our time go?
Check it out
Got a brand new house in escrow
Check it out
Sleepin' with your back, to your loved one
This is all that we've learned about happiness
[Verse 5]
Check it out
Forgot to say hello to my neighbors
Check it out
Sometimes I question my own behavior
Check it out
Talkin' about the girls we've seen on the sly
Just to tell our souls we're still young lions
[Verse 6]
So check it out
Too drunk on Saturday
Check it out
Playin' football with the kids on Sunday
Check it out
Soar with eagles all week long
And this is all that we've learned about living
This is all that we've learned about living
[Verse 7]
Check it out
Check it out
Check it out
Check it out
[Verse 8]
A million young poets
Screamin' out their words
Maybe someday those words will be heard
By future generations
Ridin' on highways that we built
[Verse 9]
Maybe they'll have a better understanding
Check it out
Maybe they'll have a better understanding
Check it out
Maybe they'll have a better understanding
Check it out
Maybe they'll have a better understanding
Check it out
Hope they have a better understanding
[Verse 10]
Yeah, check it out
Check it out
Check it out
Check it out
Check it out
