Lyrics:
Verse 1A When I was young We fought a hated Southeast Asian war When I was young We didn’t know what we were fighting for When I was young Our phones were all connected to the wall Verse 1B When I was young We bought our sneakers at the 5 and dime It meant to dry your clothes to work on line When I was young We never heard the word paradigm When I was young, when I was young When I was young, when I was young Chorus 1A And now I’m creaky My bones they ache and I’m sleepy My co-morbidities beat me This didn’t happen when I was young Chorus 1B I’m also jaded My face is worn and I’ve faded My dues I’ve paid it It was not a factor when I was young Verse 2A When I was young We read our books in the library We walked to change the channel on the TV We thought the 60’s was our destiny When I was young, when I was young When I was young, when I was young Verse 2B When I was young We pla-a-a-yed our records on a stereo When I was young My ca-a-a-r-r-r could never tell me where to go When I was young We didn’t care which way the wind would blow Chorus 2A With qualms I’m dealing My skin is dry and I’m peeling My nerves are shot and I’m feeling This was unexpected when I was young Chorus 2B My days are taken Up with music and medicine For this oppressive shape that I’ve been in I never saw it coming when I was young Long Version Chorus 2C I’m also squeamish About red meat so I eat fish How much of the world will we miss I never worried when I was young Chorus 2D My prime I’m passed it My muscles ache and they’re flaccid It’s raining acid Never thought about it when I was young Guitar and Tin Whistle Solos (Instrumental) Verse 3A When I was young Our music came on vinyl discs and tape When I was young Atari pong was our only video game When I was young For fun we slid in mud in the pouring rain Verse 3B When I was young We also panicked about the price of gas A-a-and 50 cents a gallon would never last When I was young We rarely reminisced about the past When I was young, when I was young When I was young, when I was young Verse 3C When I was young Google was a mathematics term When I was young We walked to school and never got concerned When I was young We also passed the tests but never learned Verse 3D When I was young We didn’t do the same drugs as you When I was young I felt so old when I was 22 When I was young We didn’t know we had the right to sue When I was young Chorus 3A As ageing takes its toll Diabetes, baldness, cholesterol When did I get so damn old? Nary a thought when I was young Chorus 3B My bed I’ve made it My expressions are outdated I’m over-medicated It was not in my cards when I was young Bridge When I was young, when I was young Things were changed, a bit more fun Chorus 3C Will I get creepy? I worry a lot and I’m weepy My co-morbidities beat me This didn’t happen when I was young Long Version Chorus 3D The world sounds a warning Nuclear fission, global warming El Nino clouds are forming That all got started when I was young Bridge When I was young, when I was young When I was young, when I was young Chorus 3E My days are taken Up with music it’s medicine For the depressing state that I’ve been in I never saw it coming when I was young Ending When I was young, when I was young Life was transformed, a bit more fun When I was young, when I was young When I was young, when I was young Long Version Chorus 4F World Book Encyclopedia Replaced by social media Look it up on Wikipedia That couldn’t happen when I was young Chrous 4G Social network amenities Are you Twitter, Facebook friendly? They’ll steal my identity That no one wanted when I was young Ending When I was young, when I was young When I was young, when I was young When I was young, when I was young When I was young, when I was young Guitar Solo (Instrumental)
