Lyrics

Cole I know I said I favoured peaceful resolution But that was when we were the young idealists The Young Idealists Raging through the coffee shops and bars Make believe the world was really ours Still supposing we could make a difference Then we bought into the neocon economic dream And we were trading in futures we believed in The Young Idealists Careering through the markets to the Mall Venturing that we could have it all Still supposing we could make a difference And then the markets fall And the heavens open And there's no synergy at all The synergy is broken So maybe now I'd take that wholesale revolution We were talking about Maybe now I'd take a future we can breathe in The Young Idealists Raging through the forests and the streams Breaking into your laboratories Still supposing we could make a difference I never dreamed I'd want a slogan on my people Mover But that was when we were the young idealistsTHE YOUNG IDEALISTS I know I said I favoured peaceful resolution But that was when we were the young idealists The Young Idealists Raging through the coffee shops and bars Make believe the world was really ours Still supposing we could make a difference Then we bought into the neocon economic dream And we were trading in futures we believed in The Young Idealists Careering through the markets to the Mall Venturing that we could have it all Still supposing we could make a difference And then the markets fall And the heavens open And there's no synergy at all The synergy is broken So maybe now I'd take that wholesale revolution We were talking about Maybe now I'd take a future we can breathe in The Young Idealists Raging through the forests and the streams Breaking into your laboratories Still supposing we could make a difference I never dreamed I'd want a slogan on my people Mover But that was when we were the young idealists
