Lyrics
Looked in the mirror today
Can't believe what was there
A pot bellied alien
With receding hair
Oh my god, what happenned to me?
Went to the local dive
Saw a girl check me out
Went up to talk to her
That's when I heard her shout
Oh my god, you look just like my dad
Where did it all go wrong?
This wasn't meant to be
A Midlife Tragedy
Please tell me it's a dream
And not reality
'Cause I don't understand
Who is this old man?
Turned on the radio
Heard my favorite song
Wait, what the hell is this!?
Something's wrong
Oh my god, someone sampled Train In Vain
Where did it all go wrong?
This wasn't meant to be
A Midlife Tragedy
Please tell me it's a dream
And not reality
'Cause I don't understand
I Don't Understand
I used to be the man
I used to be the man
Standing in the pouring rain
Saw my ex-girlfriend
She got three kids at home
And a brand new 'Benz
Oh my god, what happenned to me?
Where did it all go wrong?
This wasn't meant to be
A Midlife Tragedy
Please tell me it's a dream
And not reality
This can't be happenning
Where did it all go wrong?
This wasn't meant to be
A Midlife Tragedy
Please tell me it's a dream
And not reality
'Cause I don't understand
Who the hell is this old man?
