from the "Field Day" lp. Music by Brian Baker, lyrics by Peter Cortner.
Now that it's gone
just admit it to yourself
it was nothing special
no more special than yourself
now that it's gone
won't you admit it to yourself ?
another typical youth you mistook for someone else
(looking through your rebel ...gray looks so good on you )
you brought your parents down
you had to face your doubts
you doubted everyone
just like everyone
so disagreeable
of course you hated school
you felt so all alone
and so did all of us
it's not the energy
it's not the extra time
responsibility
it won't change everything
an average lifespan
four times what's been and gone
what's unique is not your age
what's unique is still in there
