Sometimes I wish I had been around,
I wish I'd suffered just a little bit more
Never really got round to starting something new
It all seemed to've been done before
Don't try 'n' keep up with the flash kids
Don't try 'n' do things the hard rock way
I can't teach you anything, no, but if you knew what I'd been through tryin'
I think you'd see things my way
It's a real dump this place, at least it seems that way to me
And I seem to have lost the difference between depression and sensitivity
I was trying to remember a joke I heard, or perhaps I'd read it in a magazine
I was decidin' whether or not to laugh, Ha! It was just a dream
Don't try 'n' keep up with the flash kids
Don't try 'n' do things the hard rock way
I can't teach you anything, no, but if you knew what I'd been through tryin'
I think you'd see things my way
One day, if you've been losing like me, you might see I was right
but whether or not, I ain't gonna decide that I'm wrong
Why don't you sit down and work out your own set of values
It's time to decide where you belong
Don't try 'n' keep up with the flash kids
Don't try 'n' do things the hard rock way
I can't teach you anything you don't know, there's no point me even tryin'
You might as well walk away
