Behind Their Years Lyrics by Soaked Oats

Working Title

0

Here comes Old Johnny
With the youth hanging off his face
He’s almost under and sure
Likes to talk over me
He sets the tone
When he walks inside the bar and pays
For a drink and then sees
It’s like “Ok?” when
Outcomes his first statement;
How music these days
Has lost all of its inspiration
He rocks over to the juke-
Box and looks for his proof
Puts on The Who and starts
To shit all on my generation
I see
It’s me
The reason that he never could
Succeed
Must be hard
To breathе
Staying on the teat
Of destiny
So Johnny sits and
Spits out his onе motto
Says that he was “Born damned”
But things’ll change when he
Finally wins the lotto
So he spent his life on that chance
I say, “Johnny don’t you know
How that saying goes
‘Old men should plant the trees
Whose shade they’ll never know’?
Cause there’s no second earth
Where you can dig for worth.”
But he just takes a swig and burps
Says “You don’t know how the world works.”
The hired band
Sings for numb ears
All the waited tables
Sit to drink away their fears
Their made up faces
Weep predictable tears
The same rivers map the cheeks of faces
Well behind their years
I see
It’s me
The reason that he never could
Succeed
Must be hard
To breathe
Staying on the teat of destiny
When it’s all
All your fault
Never once trying
To break your fall
Now you’re all alone
Just sit there
Until you’re told to go
