| Well, I don’t follow any trend
|
| I don’t sulk for hours on end
|
| I don’t wanna reach out and punch someone
|
| I am what I hated when I was young
|
| I don’t wear designer clothes
|
| I ain’t got pins in my nose
|
| I ain’t got a tattoo on my bum
|
| I am what I hated when I was young
|
| Poverty was a wonderful thing everyone enjoyed
|
| We were eatin' grass, not smokin' it
|
| Wasn’t like this when I was a boy
|
| Wasn’t like this when I was a boy
|
| And I don’t rob old people’s homes
|
| I don’t steal no cellular phones
|

|
| I am what I hated when I was young
|
| I don’t holler, I don’t hoot
|
| I don’t act like a nincompoop
|
| I don’t hide when the police come
|
| I am what I hated when I was young
|
| I’m slowin' down, I’m getting old
|
| And my back is getting bad
|
| I just sit and moan all day
|
| Wasn’t like this when I was a lad
|
| Wasn’t like this when I was a lad
|
| Yeah, I comb my hair, brush my teeth
|
| Wash my feet more than once a week
|
| And I never leave my flies undone
|
| I am what I hated when I was young
|
| I’m the original mixed up kid
|
| I ain’t proud of what I did
|
| Now I’m older, calmed down some
|
| I hate what I used to be when I was young
|
| I hate what I used to be when I was young
|
| I hate what I used to be when I was young, yeah |
