All of those things that I wanted to say

Well you can take those things and throw them all away- hey hey



Because he who points the finger well only he gets hung

That's why I don't to be a messiah, messiahs die young



All of those things that I wanted to be

Well you can take those things and throw them back at me- he he



Because he is only just as good as he who is the one

That's why I don't to be a messiah, messiahs die young



Messiahs die young.

Messiahs die young!

They die young,

Messiahs die young!

Messiahs die young.

Messiahs die young!

They die young.

Messiahs!



Why get in line if you don't want to wait

They say that time is money-- sell your watch today, hey hey

And if you've never been to China well the slow boat leaves at one

That's why I don't want to be a messiah, messiahs die

I don't want to be a messiah, messiahs die

I don't want to be a messiah! I just want to have fun

Not die young.

Messiahs die young!

They die young.

Messiahs die young!

Messiahs die young.

Messiahs die young!

Messiahs die young.

Messiahs
