[Verse 1]
The shoes you wear, ain't the shoes I'd wear
But I don't care
You've got things to say
But they're thrown away 'cause they're so pa**e
To them, they, who are they anyway
They're just beating each other at being each other
With nothing to say
[Verse 2]
So everyone cares 'cause the hat that he wears is on the wrong way
And I heard them say "Don't be square"
So square we'll stay
Without them, they, who are they anyway
They're just beating each other at being each other
With nothing to say
[Chorus]
I'm holding on to my old man's sneakers
Just going deaf to my hi-fi records and
Hanging round at the pawn shop
Waiting for nothing to change
Anything strange is wrong
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
So here we are
In a dead man's car going to the show
In my old chapeau
Well it's full of holes but it's got more soul
That them, they, who are they anyway
They're just beating each other at being each other
With nothing to say
[Chorus]
I'm holding on to my old man's sneakers
Just going deaf to my hi-fi records and
Hanging round at the pawn shop
Waiting for nothing to change
Anything strange is wrong
