Young & Stupid
back when I was
young and stupid
I really wanted to be
a big famous rock star
just like Jim Morrison
or Jimi Hendricks
I would give anything
just for the chance to have
long hair and wear tight jeans
play Madison Square Gardens
and have hordes of pretty girls
throwing underwear at me
but now that I’m old and pathetic
I just can’t see myself with long hair
dressed in jeans and a leather jacket
holding onto an electric guitar and
threatening to throw a TV set
out of a hotel window
somehow the years
have caught up with me
and the sound of rock music
no longer drives me to madness
I’m terrified to even look at myself
for fear of seeing my parents
but as long as I’m alive
then there’s still a chance
to act crazy and get naked
just because I’m growing old
doesn’t mean I have to stop
being young and stupid
