People tell me how they have know-how to be forever young
They have no worries, responsibilities – they will always have fun
But still they’re burning candles from both ends – bunch of walking time bombs
Still they keep thinking, think they’re almighty but they’ve got it all wrong (so I ask)

You keep telling me, you keep telling me
that you’re the master of the Universe
But how can you say something like that when
You live your life in reverse?

Soon it is too late and they can’t escape, chances will not improve
None of them sees it, they’ve had it easy, they had too much too soon
They have it backwards, problems will occur and things they can’t run from
Though now all is fine, will they stop in time - before it is all gone (I ask them)

You keep telling me, you keep telling me
that you’re the master of the Universe
But how can you say something like that when
You live your life in reverse?
