Lyrics

You learn a cou ple (A)things when you get to my age,

like friends don’t lie and it all tastes the same in the dark.

When your vi nyl and your cof fee col lec tion is a sign of the times,

you’re get ting (A)spi ri tual ly en light ened at twen ty nine.

So, just give your self a try,

won’t you give your self a try?

Won’t you give your self a try?

Won’t you give?

I found a grey (A)hair in one of my suits,

like con text in a mod ern de bate, I just took it out.

The on ly ap pa ra tus re quired for hap pi ness is your pain and fuck ing go ing out side and get ting (A)S T Ds at twen ty (A)sev en real ly is n’t the vibe.

Jane her own life teen,

she was kid had

on arm.

And I was twen ty five and a fraid

a mil le ni al

Won’t you

your self a try,

won’t you give your self a try?

Won’t you give your self a try?

Won’t you give?

I found a grey (A)hair in one of my suits,

like con text in a mod ern de bate, I just took it out.

The on ly ap pa ra tus re quired for hap pi ness is your pain and fuck ing go ing out side and get ting (A)S T Ds at twen ty (A)sev en real ly is n’t the vibe.
