Seventeen Years Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Booyacka 

Cover art for Seventeen Years lyrics by Ratatat

This is the only Ratatat song I have but I absolutely LOVE it. It's just one of those songs that makes you want to rock out, even if just inside your head. Does anybody know who the guy talking is? I think this song is a disproval towards those who say songwriting gets easier as you keep doing it. This may be true to some extent but really, good songs don't just come falling from the sky, do they? No matter how professional you are, a good musician will always struggle and ponder if they want to write music that really means something.
