I'm a modern guy |
|
I don't care much for the go-go |
|
or the retro image I see so often |
|
telling me to keep trying |
|
maybe you'll get here someday |
|
keep up the work kid, okay |
|
I close the book on them right there |
|
I see myself change as the days change over |
|
I hear the songs and the words don't change |
|
I write them out of the book right there |
|
we've been had, you say it's over |
|
sometimes I'm just happy I'm older |
|
we've been had, I know it's over |
|
somehow it got easy to laugh out loud |
|
see me age nineteen |
|
with some dumb haircut from 1960 |
|
moving to New York |
|
sitting here with my friends |
|
we're all taking the same steps |
|
seems foolish now |
