When I Get Old Lyrics
what will it be like when i get old will i still hop on my bike, and ride
around town will i still want to be someone, and not just sit around i don't
want to be like other adults cause they've already died cool and
condescending, fossilized will i be rich will i be poor, will i still sleep
on the floor what will it be like when i get what will i be like when i get
what will it be like when i get old will i still kiss my girlfriend and try
to grab her ass will i still hate the cops and have no class will all my
grown up friends say they've seen it all before they say hey act your age
and i'm immature will i do myself proud or only what's allowed what will it
be like when i get what will i be like when i get what will it be like when
i get old will i sit around and talk about the old days sit around and watch
t.v. i never want to go that way never burn out not fade away as i travel
through my time will i like what i find what will it be like when i get what
will i be like when i get what will it be like when i get old
"will i do myself proud, or only what's allowed?" my mantra, i hope i'm bad ass when i get old... wait, i'm not bad ass now, so what's it matter? if you don't get this song, call me and i'll meet you and hit you in the head with a hammer because you are a retard.
This song is so great. It totally conveys my fear of facing the dillema of growing up...I mean, do we have to grow up? When we get old, our hearts die, at least thats what it looks like to me. I hope I can hang on towhoI am forever, and I'm not just trying todelay the inevitable fate of turning out just like my parents. I guess only time will answer that question. This song is great, one of the Descendents best.
When we get old, our hearts die, at least thats what it looks like to me. sounds pretty grow-up to me :P
Growing old is inevitable. Growing up is optional.
I just realised the actual meaning behind the line "never burn out not fade away" a couple of days ago. I think it's supposed to be saying that Kurt was wrong, that it's possible to sustain 'All', as they call it, without 'fading away'.
i think a lot of people are scared of growing old... however my favourite line is still "will i still kiss my girlfriend, and try to grab her ass"
I don't know, but the note Milo hits when he sings "'Cause they've already died" is just awesome. Great song.
