I was reading a blog today about feeling old and how younger people make you feel old because you do the activities that they do.  I was in Wal-Mart a few days ago looking at cds.  I was asking the clerk if they had the new Radiohead greatest hits album and if it was one or two discs.  This girl looking at cds heard me talking about Radiohead and the incredulous look she gave me was one for the ages.  I read her mind and she was saying, "God how can an old fart like you listen to some band as cool as Radiohead."  The clerk told me they only had the single disc album.  So then I went next to the girl who was looking at Weezer cds.  I picked up the newest cd, decided to be an ass, and said to her, "Ah, Weezer, excellent band.  I've been listening to them since before you were born."  Her jaw dropped.  I then paid for my cd and left.  I guess only kids can listen to good music nowadays.  Anyway the blog and my situation got me thinking of one of my favorite Weezer songs, "The Good Life".

When I look in the mirror
I can't believe what I see
Tell me, who's that funky dude
Staring back at me
Broken, beaten down
Can't even get around
Without an old-man cane
I fall and hit the ground
Shivering in the cold
I'm bitter and alone
Excuse the bitching
I shouldn't complain
I should have no feeling
Cos feeling is pain
As everything I need
Is denied me
And everything I want
Is taken away from me
But who do I got to blame?
Nobody but me
And I don't wanna be an old man anymore
It's been a year or two since I was out on the floor
Shaking booty, making sweet love all the night
It's time I got back to the good life
It's time I got back, it's time I got back
And I don't even know how I got off the track
I wanna go back, yeah!
Screw this crap, I've had it!
I ain't no Mr. Cool
I'm a pig, I'm a dog
So excuse me if I drool
I ain't gonna hurt nobody
Ain't gonna cause a scene
Just need to admit
That I want sugar in my tea
Hear me (hear me) I want sugar in my tea!
I don't wanna be an old man anymore
It's been a year or two since I was out on the floor
Shaking booty, making sweet love all the night
It's time I got back to the good life
It's time I got back, it's time I got back
And I don't even know how I got off the track
I wanna go back, yeah!
I wanna go back, I wanna go back
And I don't even know how I got off the track
It's time I got back, it's time I got back
And I don't even know how I got off the track
I wanna go back, yeah!
And I don't wanna be an old man anymore
It's been a year or two since I was out on the floor
Shaking booty, making sweet love all the night
It's time I got back to the good life
It's time I got back, it's time I got back
And I don't even know how I got off the track
It's time I got back, it's time I got back
And I don't even know how I got off the track
I wanna go back (I wanna go back)
