Young Man's Blues Blues -

A young man ain’t got nothin' in the world these days

I said, a young man ain’t got nothin' in the world these days

Well, except for: a body that looks good in anything

And a brain that thinks it knows everything

But apart from that: a young man ain’t got nothin' in the world these days

Well, except for: no idea about mortality

And no fear about gravity;

And girls who are there for casual sex

And parents who are there to pick up your HECS

And debts you’ll pay off before you’re dead

And more teeth than fillings in your head

And no need to work off middle aged spread

And more than one reason for your bed

But apart from that: a young man ain’t got nothin' in the world these days

I said, a young man ain’t got nothin' in the world these days

Well, except for: being part of the cool demographic

Getting up too late for peak hour traffic

And joints for taking not aching

And memory not disintigrating

And spell check if you’re illiterate

And you get to take up not give up cigarettes

And you’re not really a prisoner of society

And you’ve got enough hair to style it stupidly

And you don’t know how much you don’t know

And you get more erections than Bruno Grollo

And you got the perfect excuse for being bad

And you still haven’t turned into your dad

But, apart from that: a young man ain’t got nothin' in the world these days
