Everybody wants to be young and reckless   Sparkle, shine   Like a diamond necklace   Move from the crowd to the top of the guest list   Everybody wants to be young and reckless         And I know   You’re [out it?] for the first time   And I know    You never really turned out right   Sometimes you’re better off in disguise   Sometimes      And everybody knows it’s a great big lie   So d-d-d-don’t say   It’s all alright   And everybody goes when you say good-bye   You d-d-d-d-d-don’t look back   You don’t look back    Ever      hide it away, stashed under the mattress   High school mascot   Everybody practice   Everybody move now   Move to the exit   Everybody wants to be young and reckless      Does anybody know?   Is everything pretend?   Does anybody know?   Is this making sense?   The answer’s in the air
