Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up

So here I am
Doing everything I can
Holding on to what I am
Pretending I'm a superman

I'm trying to keep
The ground on my feet
It seems the world's falling down around me
The nights are all long
Yeah, I'm singing this song
To try and make the answers more than maybe

And I'm so confused about what to do
Sometimes I wanna throw it all away

So here I am
Growing older all the time
Looking older all the time
Feeling younger in my mind

So here I am
Doing everything I can
Holding on to what I am
Pretending I'm a superman

I'm trying to sleep
I lost count of sheep
My mind is racing faster every minute
But could I do more?
Yeah, I'm really not sure
I know I'm running circles but I can't quit

And I'm so confused about what to do
Sometimes I wanna throw it all away

Controlling everything in sight
Feeling weak, I don't feel right
You're telling me I have to change
Telling me to act my age
What if all that I can do
Is just sit and watch time go
Then I'll have to say goodbye
Life's too short to watch it fly
To watch it fly

So here I am
Growing older all the time
Looking older all the time
Feeling younger in my mind

So here I am
Doing everything I can
Holding on to what I am
Pretending I'm a superman

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

    Ok, for one you can't really compare NoFx, Goldfinger, and the Sex Pistols together. For two,just because a band makes an impact doesn't mean you have to like them, but you should respect them. I listen to the Beatles and Led Zeppelin most of the time, but that doesn't mean I can't listen to Goldfinger. And just because Classical music was the root of what we think as modern music doesn't mean you have to like Classical, but please at least respect it. That's what's wrong with modern Punk. The Sex Pistols loved the Who, because they practically invented Punk, but now most 'punks' hate the Who! Now what's wrong with that?!
