I Don't Like It (There's a Punk By My Side)

Jerome Lee Barlow


When I was twenty years old, everyone used to tell me
That I was too young, and didn't know nothing about life
That there are certain things, only time can make you understand
And that when I'd turned 50 I'd finally would see
I would see, yeah, I would see
At 50, I would see

Since that time I've been walking around the world
Seeing so many things and knowing so many people
And now that I'm finally 50 I came here to tell you
That I ain't seen nothing yet, nothing, nothing at all

But everything is different, the world is so changed
There's a punk speaking on the cell phone by my side
I just can't understand why we became this way
We all know the Rolling Stones went to play in Shangai
They lost all sense of shame: Brown Sugar was cut from the show

I don't like what I see, I don't like what I hear as well
I don't like what I wear, I don't like what I eat as well
I'm wasted, far from home, and that punk's still talking on the phone
