[Spoken word] He got older, and he was a teenager now
He was a rock n' roll guy; he sang and sang
He pretended one of the furniture was a microphone

[Verse 2] Well sometimes I feel so strange
That I just need to get out
And I hate to feel this way
'Cause I'm always leaving town

[Chorus] Yeah I'm tired of feeling like

It is where I ought to be

[Chorus] Yeah I'm tired of feeling like
There's no place for me in my own life
Yeah I'm tired of being told
That what's best for me is to get old
