A punch in the teeth or a kick to the shins

It's how it always begins

Kingdome come

Came and went

Left me broken

Left me bent

Be careful what you wish for

That's what they say

I wish I could be careful

Wish I could care about anything

When they swing

The good old days

Must have come and gone

I wish I could remember one

The youth is wasted on the young

You end up holding the bottom rung

Be careful what you wish for

That's what they say

I wish I could be careful

Wish I could care about anything

When they swing

I stick out my chin

You can call it a day

But it's just the beginning

It's just the beginning
