Maybe it would be fun, to get a new opinion,
Get a little work done, and forget
Maybe it would be cool if I rock it oldschool,
Try to break a gold rule, and a sweat
Better than the first time, better than the worst time,
(2)
If I could just reverse time, I´d be set
Testing 1, 2, 3, can anybody hear me, if I
Shed the irony, would anybody cheer me, if I
Acted less like me, would I be in the clear, she
Got a new apartment, it´s out on the escarpment,
And in her glove compartment are my songs.
She hasn´t even heard them since she found out what the words meant
She decided she preferred them all wrong
Kinda like the last time with a bunch of really fast rhymes
(2)
If we´re living in the past times, soon gone
Testing 1, 2, 3, can anybody hear me, if I
Shed the irony, would anybody cheer me, if I
Acted less like me, would I be in the clear, we
Recognize the present, it´s half as pleasant
As our no------stalgia for
A past to be resented
Recast and reinvented
Until it´s how we meant it
Testing 1, 2, 3, can anybody hear me, if I
Shed the irony, would anybody cheer me, if I
Acted less like me, would I be in the clear, he´s
Everything that you need
He wiped out on your 10-speed
And either he will succeed
Or just suck
Testing 1, 2, 3, can anybody hear me, if I
Shed the irony, would anybody cheer me, if I
Acted less like me, would I be in the clear, begin the
Testing 1, 2, 3, can anybody hear me, if I
Shed the irony, would anybody cheer me, if I
Acted less like me, would I be in the clear, G?
