Stay Young

Oasis · The Masterplan [1998]

One way out is all you're ever gonna get

From those who hand them out don't never let it upset you

Cos they'll put words into your mouths they're making us feel so ashamed

Making ya take all the blame

Making ya cold in the night

Making ya question your heart and your soul

And I think that it's not quite right

Hey! stay young and invincible

Cos we know just what we are

And come what may we're unstoppable

Cos we know just what we are

Feed your head with all the things you need

When you're hungry

Stay in bed and sleep all day as long as it's Sunday

Cos they'll put words into my mouth they're making me feel so ashamed

Making me take all the blame

Making me cold in the night

Making me question my heart and my soul

And I think that it's not quite right

Hey! stay young and invincible

Cos we know just what we are

And come what may we're unstoppable

Cos we know just what we are

Ya we know just what we are

Ya we know just what we are

C'mon

Hey! stay young and invincible

Cos we know just what we are

And come what may we're unstoppable

Cos we know just what we are

Hey! stay young and invincible

Cos we know just what we are

And come what may my faith's unshakable

Cos we know just what we are

Cos we know just what we are(repeats til' end)
