I remember when rock was young.
Hey kids, shake it loose together, the spotlight’s hitting something that’s been known to change the weather.
Don’t give us none of your aggravation, we had it with your discipline.
It’s like trying to find gold in a silver mine. It’s like trying to drink whiskey from a bottle of wine.
I entertain by picking brains. Sell my soul, by dropping names.
And nobody told us, ‘cause nobody showed us.
It’s funny how one insect can damage so much grain.
And it’s one more beer, and I don’t hear you anymore.
Maybe you’ll get a replacement, there’s plenty like me to be found.
You had the grace to hold yourself, while those around you crawled.
I took a chance and changed your way of lifeBut you misread my meaning when I met you, closed the door and left me blinded by the light.
Lay me down in sheets of linen, you had a busy day today.
And you can tell everybody this is your song. It may be quite simple but now that it’s done.
What have I got to do? When sorry seems to be the hardest word.
And did you think this fool could never win? Well look at me, I’m coming back again. I’m still standing better than I ever did.
