Let's say I was born in '72.
Whether or not that's true I think I've got to get this off my chest.
There's really nothing we can do.
If it can happen to me, it'll happen to you
and wiser men than you and I, I guess.
Oh man, there's something really screwed up...
Lately I've been feeling tired,
staying home instead of getting high.
My friends say it might just be the flu.
But I'm drinking coffee instead of beer
and staying home when the rain gets near.
Doing things I never thought I'd do.
Lord, it's not my fault.
I ain't no hand-me-down, this ain't no cover-up.
Lord, it's not my fault, but it's my problem now.
I suppose I ought to tell you.
I used to really enjoy the clubs.
That was until I got new ones.
Now instead of dancing, I think I'll drive a few.
By now, you're probably getting scared.
"My god, what is this cross you bear?"
I guess it's probably time I told you.
Lord, it's not my fault.
I ain't no hand-me-down, this ain't no cover-up.
Lord, it's not my fault, but it's my problem now.
There's something really screwed up about turning 30.
All the girls that thought you were cute now probably think you're old and dirty.
I know it's wrong, I know it's early,
but if I don't leave before too long the flames at home will burn me.
Oh man, there's something really screwed up. Screwed up, screwed up, up, up.
Pretty soon I'll be having kids and
changing diapers that smell like, y'know...
remembering the days when I was fun.
But if getting old is all that bad,
you'd think a decent mom & dad
would have told my ass to run, run, run, run, RUN!
Oh, it's not my fault.
I ain't no hand-me-down, this ain't no cover-up.
Lord, it's not my fault' but it's my problem now.
There's something really screwed up about turning 30.
All the girls that thought you were cute now probably think you're old and dirty
I know it's wrong, I know it's early,
but if I don't leave before too long the flames at home will burn me.
Oh man, there's something really screwed up. Screwed up, screwed up, up, up.
