We've Been Had

Well, I'm a modern guy

I don't care much for the go-go

Or the retro image I see so often

Telling me to "keep trying"

"Maybe you'll get here someday"

"Keep up the work, kid" – okay

I close the book on them right there

I see myself change, as the days change over

I hear the songs and the words don't change

I write them out of the book right there

We've been had, you say it's over

Sometimes I'm just happy I'm older

We've been had, I know it's over

Somehow it got easy to laugh out loud

See me – age nineteen

With some dumb haircut from 1960

Moving to New York City

Live with my friends there

We're all taking the same steps

They're foolish now

We've been had, you say it's over

Sometimes I'm just happy I'm older

We've been had, I know it's over

Somehow it got easy to laugh out loud
