I don’t wanna be an old man anymore
June 27th, 2007 by JJ
This is turning into a recurring theme here.
I’m reliving my teenage years. My life is filled with things I was into at age 17 or 18.
- Skateboarding
- Playing in a rock band
- Participating in make-out parties
- Staying up until 4am on weekends
- Drinking beer daily
- Smoking cigarettes
- Growing my hair long
- Wearing skate shoes
- Calling my friends “dude” or “man”
Am I too young for a mid-life crisis? Reminds me of the Weezer song “The Good Life”:
When I look in the mirror
I can’t believe what I see
Tell me, who’s that funky dude
Staring back at me
Broken, beaten down
Can’t even get around
Without an old-man cane
I fall and hit the ground
Shivering in the cold
I’m bitter and alone
Excuse the bitching
I shouldn’t complain
I should have no feeling
Cos feeling is pain
As everything I need
Is denied me
And everything I want
Is taken away from me
But who do I got to blame?
Nobody but me
And I don’t wanna be an old man anymore
It’s been a year or two since I was out on the floor
Shaking booty, making sweet love all the night
It’s time I got back to the good life
It’s time I got back, it’s time I got back
And I don’t even know how I got off the track
I wanna go back, yeah!
Screw this crap, I’ve had it!
I ain’t no Mr. Cool
I’m a pig, I’m a dog
So excuse me if I drool
I ain’t gonna hurt nobody
Ain’t gonna cause a scene
Just need to admit
That I want sugar in my tea
Hear me (hear me) I want sugar in my tea!
I don’t wanna be an old man anymore
It’s been a year or two since I was out on the floor
Shaking booty, making sweet love all the night
It’s time I got back to the good life
It’s time I got back, it’s time I got back
And I don’t even know how I got off the track
I wanna go back, yeah!
I wanna go back, I wanna go back
And I don’t even know how I got off the track
It’s time I got back, it’s time I got back
And I don’t even know how I got off the track
I wanna go back, yeah!
And I don’t wanna be an old man anymore
It’s been a year or two since I was out on the floor
Shaking booty, making sweet love all the night
It’s time I got back to the good life
It’s time I got back, it’s time I got back
And I don’t even know how I got off the track
It’s time I got back, it’s time I got back
And I don’t even know how I got off the track
I wanna go back (I wanna go back)

I have so much love for skateboarders. Just as a generalized entity. And really, only the ones who use it as a form of transportation. I
i wanna go to a makeout party….
You Dick-head! I thought that was going to be a picture of you with your hair long.
You gave me no choice but to refer everybody to this animation of you with some fly hair.
I am 30 years old.
I wear Paul Frank graphic tees.
I still smoke dope and watch cartoons.
I take long naps. All the time.
I drive a VW Beetle.
I will always choose jeans and sneakers first.
I have Peter Pan complex.
I still live like a sixteen year old too. But I skate way harder now then I ever have so go figure. I don’t like to bleach my hair anymore though, so I guess I am getting old. Fuck.
I don’t want also to be old! I am 18 and I like skating and swimming. I wish to go to a making party like u and I want to visit almost all countries in the world. I still can’t do all these things because my parents aren’t rich enough. Thanks for the nice entry and lyrics!
