[Verse 1]
Excuse me, oh, pardon me, I'm
Still sticky on the inside
There comes a time when all I do
Is sit around in contemplation
And curse my situation
I'm just too bored for normal news
Be careful of what you wish for
Impossible to just ignore
One last time is all I need
To get my laughin' stocks in order
They're on the rise this quarter
Beware of certain friends
Who sell you out when everything is free
[Pre-Chorus]
I know what I am to all of you
And I've got all these other things to do
To do
[Chorus]
Open up, I know enough; I'm overusеd
Everyone I've еver loved is easily amused
Go ahead and tell the dead it's only youth
But I am much too old, I am much too old
I am much too old now
[Verse 2]
Imagine this chaos theory
Makes all the prophets leery
Somebody's showin' them the ropes
Ooh, we use to hang ourselves with
Instead of quiet respites
We choose the noose in lieu of hope
Oh, rose red, oh, violent blue
I should've seen the clues
But this song is dumb and so am I
[Pre-Chorus]
Character assassinations
Aren't really observations
Stay home and ask yourself:
"Why am I so low when I'm so high
So high?"
[Chorus]
Oh, open up, I know enough; I'm overused
Everyone I've ever loved is easily amused
Go ahead and tell the dead it's only youth
But I am much too old, I am much too old
I am much too old now
[Post-Chorus]
Hey
Yeah
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Come on
Oh, yeah
[Chorus]
Oh, open up, I know enough; I'm overused
Everyone I've ever loved is easily amused
Go ahead and tell the dead it's only youth
But I am much too old, I am much too old
I am much too old, I am much too old
