Porcupine Tree - Phase IV lyrics

Well I never think that when I'm twenty-one
I'm twenty-one - I think of
Tomorrow or this minute and
Hope there's a tomorrow
'cause I don't like what's going
On in the world i'm scared of that
More than drugs i'm not afraid of them
I'm just i'm just scared you know?

In 15 years the high school and
College students who are experimenting
With LSD will be running our
Institutions and guiding public policy
Remember, the college students who are using
LSD and Marijuana today do not
Comprise a criminal class they are not
Drug addicts seeking to escape
They're your best educated
Your most creative
And your most courageous young people
And like it or not
They're going to build you a new civilization

They may be severely depressed
With suicidal tendencies, or may
Be very serious suicide attempts
They may be confused, wandering about
Not knowing where they are they may be
Hallucinating, that is hearing voices
Or seeing things
Or they may be extremely anxious
To the point of panic
LSD helps me to remember or
It helps me to forget
(laughing) , no, I don't know

In the last year, we're told that perhaps a
Million Americans, most of them young people
Have made the LSD experience part
Of their lives is
This a social menace and a cause for alarm?
I don't think so i see nothing less
Than the speedy evolution of a new
Indigenous religion

Well I never think that when I'm twenty-one
I'm twenty-one - I think of
Tomorrow or this minute and
Hope there's a tomorrow
'cause I don't like what's going
On in the world i'm scared of that
More than drugs i'm not afraid of them
I'm just i'm just scared you know?
I'm just i'm just scared you know?
I'm just i'm just scared you know?
I'm just i'm just scared you know?
I'm just i'm just scared you know?
Everybody is
