I've Lately been picking up strange vibrations |
| [00:15.44] |
I hear my music now on oldies stations |
| [00:19.14] |
|
| [00:20.15] |
"Put out a CD called "the best of what I was" |
| [00:24.16] |
My picture's on the cover and no one knows |
| [00:28.42] |
|
| [00:38.75] |
Just when you think you've got the wisdom of the ages |
| [00:42.72] |
|
| [00:43.41] |
Nobody seems want to to turn your pages |
| [00:47.21] |
|
| [00:48.09] |
I used to think I was the cat's pajamas |
| [00:51.93] |
|
| [00:52.68] |
Now I'm about as hip as Fernando Lamas |
| [00:56.47] |
|
| [00:57.17] |
Old enough |
| [00:57.73] |
|
| [00:59.49] |
Old enough to be your father |
| [01:02.25] |
|
| [01:02.88] |
Old enough |
| [01:03.95] |
|
| [01:05.34] |
Old enough then |
| [01:07.35] |
|
| [01:07.98] |
And now my kids are taking me to the shows |
| [01:11.12] |
|
| [01:12.19] |
There's hip-hop, rap, grunge music I don't know |
| [01:15.92] |
|
| [01:17.24] |
I like to think I'm still part of the crowd |
| [01:20.69] |
But, how can they hear the lyrics |
| [01:23.06] |
When the music is so loud?! |
| [01:25.75] |
|
| [01:30.85] |
I dig rock and roll music |
| [01:33.24] |
been saying that for a |
| [01:35.44] |
But I wonder if you knew |
| [01:36.57] |
That rhythm & blues begat the rock and roll style? |
| [01:39.93] |
And just like that, way before rap, |
| [01:42.39] |
Woody Guthrie spread the news |
| [01:43.88] |
|
| [01:44.70] |
He told it straight, let us relate |
| [01:46.59] |
|
| [01:47.09] |
This Talking Union Blues: |
| [01:48.73] |
|
| [01:49.23] |
Well if you want higher wages, let me tell you what to do |
| [01:51.43] |
You've got to talk to the workers in the shop with you |
| [01:53.95] |
You got to build you a union, got to make it strong |
| [01:56.27] |
But if you all stick together, boys, it won't be long |
| [01:58.60] |
You get shorter hours, better working conditions |
| [02:02.52] |
|
| [02:03.34] |
Vacations with pay, take the kids seashoreto the |
| [02:07.19] |
|
| [02:08.64] |
Well I remember I was seventeen |
| [02:11.37] |
|
| [02:12.12] |
I was a Birmingham High School rock and roll king |
| [02:16.84] |
|
| [02:18.16] |
The paper talked about how I'd strut my stuff |
| [02:21.68] |
|
| [02:22.57] |
I'd like to read it, but my arms aren't long enough |
| [02:26.36] |
|
| [02:55.34] |
I kinda like my new senior status |
| [02:58.97] |
|
| [03:00.16] |
I don't even care what the latest fad is |
| [03:04.05] |
|
| [03:04.68] |
My g-generation's rediscovered me |
| [03:08.20] |
|
| [03:08.83] |
And now I'm on cover the of modern maturity |
