text: These are the best years of our lives — sweet and peaceful
  The best years of our lives — enchanted and fey
  Like the seeds were sown
  Like the seeds trampled —
  After the gardener did what hes paid to do
  Now it is finally time
  These are the best years of our lives — its all that matters
  The best years of our lives — fragile and clean
  Like a child, were blessed
  Like a child — spaced out
  And may Lord have mercy on those, who invoke our displeasure
  In these best years of our lives
  And Im coming from a different world
  And I really dont know how its done here
  And I would honestly ask you to help me, babe
  To work with me, trust in me
  And cover my ass — and then Ill look away
  These are the best years of our lives —
  And our captains locked up
  And his choir of angels waits for this city to fall
  Before this sky, and them bells ringing
  I say — I know how you feel, God, I know how you feel
  If we knew our way out, wed never be stuck here at all —
  These are the best years of our lives
  These are the best years of our lives
  These are the best years of our lives
  These are the best years of our lives
  These are the best years of our lives
  These are the best years of our lives
