Everybody keeps telling me to "Keep doing what you're doing," so I keep doing just that,
But it don't mean a thing.
Just the other day, a real good friend of mine said "You're doing fine, doing great, great, great, great, great."
I didn't say anything.A young man's dream at 17,
Got shit done at 21,
At 32, I met you,
I made a little money at 40,
I made a little money at 40,
I made a little money at 40,
But nothing happens at 47.When I was young, just a little boy,
I lived far, far, far, far, far away from here,
And I was really loved.
They would hold me in their arms, tuck me into bed,
Help me go to sleep, 'cause I could never really go to sleep
All that well.A young man's dreams at 17,
Got shit done at 21,
At 32, I met you,
I made a little money at 40,
I made a little money at 40,
I made a little money at 40,
But nothing happens at 47.I'm still walking in the big, big park,
Digging around in my keep weak heart,
I'm looking for help.
This human condition, I made it my mission
To following the cash, go with the masses,
Promises, promises, promises, promises, promises
I made to myself.A young man's dreams at 17,
Got shit done at 21,
At 32, I met you,
I made a little money at 40,
I made a little money at 40,
I made a little money at 40,
But nothing happens at 47.
