SORRY, FORGOT MY TIE-DYED T-SHIRT
Sorry, forgot my tie-dyed T-shirt
Outgrew it back in ’79
Pardon, don’t drive my VW microbus
The tranny blew in ’85
’Scuse me, sold all of my Dead records
Did not replace ’em on CD
Sorry, didn’t order cappuccino
Plain old coffee’s good enough for me
Sorry, I’m kind of out of touch lately
Can’t tell you who’s on MTV
Wouldn’t know Pavement from cement on the highway
Don’t know Green Day from green tea
Sorry, I was born in the ’50s
I’m on the other side of thirty
I ain’t marchin’ for no no-nuke causes
Cuz it really don’t do a thing
I don’t frequent no after-bar parties
I don’t feel like getting high
I don’t drive around in no Isuzu Trooper
With subwoofers piled up to the sky
I beg forgiveness, I know my face is clean-shaven
But I just won’t grow no goatee
Ain’t got no tattoos, ain’t got no tongue- or nose-ring
It just all looks too painful to me
Sorry, I said I’m sorry
