You used to wait in the backseat, But now you're stuck running the show And all the rest of your posse are glaring Through the glass in the cold You used to show us your mind control, And how to bring the fight to your head You used to tell us 'bout rock and roll, And how the stars you like are now dead Cause you know exactly who you'd rather be, It's sold in kits by personality And void of all originality Cause it goes like this, It goes like this Cause all your tricks are slipping away All you thought was always there to stay Cause it goes like this, It goes like this It goes like this Cause all the other folks are on to your feats Dressing loud and pumping the beats And it goes like this, It goes like this It goes like this From the first time you taught me to leave Without twiching an eye To never stand of up for nothing And always fight the urge to cry You used to tell us 'bout self control And how to keep your cool in a fight You used to tell us 'bout rock and roll But now we can't tell liking from light
