| The lyric of My Back Pages, Ramones's song Crimson flames tied through my ears Rollin high and mighty traps Pounced with fire on flaming roads Using ideas as my maps "We ll meet on edgessoon" Said I Proud neath heated brow Ahbut I was so much older then I m younger than that now Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth "Rip down all hate" I screamed Lies that life is black and white Spoke from my skull I dreamed Romantic facts of musketeers Foundation deepsomehow Ahbut I was so much older then I m younger than that now In a soldier s stanceI aimed my hand At the mongrel dogs who teach Fearing that I d become my enemy In the instance that I preach My pathway led by confusion boats Mutiny from stern to bow Ahbut I was so much older then I m younger than that now Ahbut I was so much older then I m younger than that now Yesmy guard stood hard when abstract threats Too noble to neglect Deceived me into thinking I had something to protect Good and badI define these terms Quite clearno doubtsomehow Ahbut I was so much older then I m younger than that now I was so much older then I m younger than that now Ahbut I was so much older then I m younger than that now
