Fountain of Youth - Local Natives

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

We can do whatever we want

We can say whatever we mean

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

We can do whatever we want

We can say whatever we mean

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

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

We can do whatever we want

We can say whatever we mean

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

We can do whatever we want

We can say whatever we mean

We can do whatever we want

We can say whatever we mean
