Smashing Young Man Songtext
von Collective Soul

Beggar′s description
Of what I've been missing
Exploit your position
Don′t think I didn't listen
Hey I hope you're feeling
A little better now

Success is so tragic
Pain is your gadget
Your tongue′s just lashing
Just bitching by habit
Hey I hope you′re feeling
A little purer now
Hey I hope you're feeling
Securer now


Help me I plea
I don′t understand
Your ways and your means
You smashing young man
Help me to see
The good you have planned
You're wearing me thin
You smashing young man

You preach synthetic-like
Peace is an oversight
It′s nothing to ignite
Your self-lit spotlight
Hey I hope you're feeling
A little special now
Hey I want to tell you
I think you′re special now

Help me I plea
I don't understand
Your ways and your means
You smashing young man
Help me to see
The good you have planned
You're wearing me thin
You smashing young man


I don′t recall asking for guidance
I don′t recall wanting to
I don't recall bowing before you
But I′m so impressed
With the kindness in your attitude

Help me I plea
I don't understand
Your ways and your means
You smashing young man
Help me to see
The good you have planned
You′re wearing me thin
You smashing young man... repeat.
