Lyrics

why does everybody sing the same old song to me, i've heard it before so wake me up when you're done, voices of doom, intent on reformin' me, relentlessly informin' me that i am a bum, wait till next year, wait till next year, you've noticed, i guess, that my clothes are a mess, and by this time next year i should care even less, thanks for the advice, you cut me up real quick, everyone's so nice it makes me sick, go ahead and find another dog to kick, why do you do it, why don't you all leave me alone, if you don't approve of me, go home, you're world is restricted and i've been evicted, condemned and convicted for being myself, they never stop whinin' if my shoes need shinin', my manners need refinin' and they're anxious to help, wait till next year, wait till next year, i've got an image to nurse, and a role to rehearse, and by this time next year i should be even worse
