Local Natives
Fountain of Youth
[Verse 1]
I think we better listen to these kids
We can't keep pretending we know what we're doing
I can't keep pretending I'm afraid
If you'll sit and listen
I'll tell you a secret
[Chorus]
We can do whatever we want
We can say whatever we mean
[Verse 2]
I have waited so long, Mrs. President
Matriarchs and Teddy Boys play in houses on the lake
How can we quit drugs if you're gonna watch like that?
Give me five good reasons you trust us with our future
[Chorus]
We can do whatever we want
We can say whatever we mean
[Post-Chorus]
And if we don't care
Then who cares?
We've been dreaming of you
Drinking from fountains of youth
And if we don't change
Then who'll change?
We've been dreaming of you
Drinking from fountains of youth
[Verse 3]
I think we better listen to these kids
I can't keep pretending that I'm still asleep
And I can't keep pretending I'm afraid
I was too stoned to call you but I thought that you'd say
[Chorus]
We can do whatever we want
We can say whatever we mean
[Post-Chorus]
And if we don't care
Then who cares?
We've been dreaming of you
Drinking from fountains of youth
And if we don't change
Then who'll change?
We've been dreaming of you
Drinking from fountains of youth
[Outro]
We can do whatever we want
We can say whatever we mean
We can do whatever we want
We can say whatever we mean
