lyrics

The Old Switcheroo

How the hell did everyone
Get younger smarter and more fun
Easily surpassing
All we've been amassing
Losing what we never won
What was surely in the cards
Now has shattered into shards
Predetermination
Lies in ruination
No more guarding what one guards

From never needing glasses
To needing reading glasses
The Old Switcheroo
The night turned into morning
Without a single warning
The Old Switcheroo

The one who seemed to have such hope
Now can only interlope
No longer allowed
In the In Crowd
Find him with a telescope
In the blinking of an eye
The wave hello is now goodbye
All the future planning
Has a sudden banning
And all you do is wonder why

You're just what you're becoming
And yet you keep on strumming
The Old Switcheroo
You had so much potential
You're sitting on the bench still
The Old Switcheroo

You didn't see it coming though it's been here for a long while
But you always were against whatever was in style
You missed the turning point, that's not the only thing you're missing
You're getting pretty used to all the scoffing and dismissing

You're still anticipating
While no one else is waiting
The Old Switcheroo
You used to feel so current
Even though you weren't
The Old Switcheroo
