Birthday - Kid Dynamite

You let your problems swallow you whole, then try to make me understand

You let your troubles rule your life and I can’t comprehend

Your past is gone, your future’s shot, your life is totally blown

You make excuses for yourself and that’s something I can’t condone

We both have the same birthday, but you age so much more

I know that I’ll be making noise when I’m age 94

You say that I should grow up, that life is more than fun

But, when ever problems challenge you, it seems they’ve always won

Your past is gone, your future’s shot, your life is totally blown

You condemn the youthfull fun I have -that you also used to own

We both have the same birthday, but you age so much more

You’re ready for retirement and you’re not even 24

I’m not gonna retire 'cause I’m still young at heart

And time will tell, in the future, who has done their part

And if you don’t agree with me, well then you can sit home until your grave

Because, at any age, we’ll be on this stage playing fast, smart, strong,

and brave

Oh, my god, it’s Ernie
