Lyrics
Verse 1
I just love the way the old sounds come back around
It reminds me of my life in the crib
And of being a kid
Chorus 1
But people complain
There?s that old sound again
It?s nothing special it?s nothing new
Verse 2
I guess I just wasted my precious youth
Wishing I was old and free
But freedom is a simple song
Only simple young can sing
Chorus 2
But people complain
There?s that old sound again
It?s nothing special it?s nothing new
But I just love it
And I can?t get enough of it
Verse 3
Now I wish for freedom from knowledge of impending ends
Freedom from nets and debts
Now I just got to get me some rest
Chorus 3
But people complain
There?s that old sound again
It?s nothing special it?s nothing new
But I just love it
And I can?t get enough of it
