Lyrics

let me tell you a story, 'bout the hazy good ole' days, the change in the game, rules are for kids, wanted to play but now i'm on the sideline, watching everyone, having so much fun, never let 'em know, you're angrier than them, but nobody cares about the days of old, take a quick picture, then you run home, called my friends, no one picks up, i guess i'm going out all alone again, it's time to grow up and i don't wanna calm down, everything happens for a reason somehow, but, i know that's not true, the meaning is just the same common purpose, i love but might not trust no more, oh mama, how i miss those days, watch them stream away, i wave, but they don't wave back at me, guess, they're just afraid, that they might get seen, maybe afraid of what they wanna be, some old freak like me, no, it all makes sense, prisoners of earth, listen to the stories from before your birth, trainin' for the game, kiss 'em in the rain, everything about it is so fucking insane, it's been a long time, we never lost touch, here comes an old witch with a poison apple, bring it to me, i'll take a bite, every last piece until i lose the light, oh, i can only change what i can change, i can only change what i can change, meet me at the bottom, i can only change what i can change, i can only change what i can change, meet me at the bottom, the lost years, i never think about those days, everyone's talking about, they were the best, i guess, you say you like the way i dress, but that gets me beat up, and now you see, that was the story of my youth, i hope it makes sense to you, 'cause it doesn't make sense to me
