Kid Dynamite - Birthday lyrics

You let your problems swallow you whole, then try to make me understand You let your troubles rule your life and I can't comprehend Your past is gone, your future's shot, your life is totally blown You make excuses for yourself and that's something I can't condone We both have the same birthday, but you age so much more I know that I'll be making noise when I'm age 94 You say that I should grow up, that life is more than fun But, when ever problems challenge you, it seems they've always won Your past is gone, your future's shot, your life is totally blown You condemn the youthfull fun I have -that you also used to own We both have the same birthday, but you age so much more You're ready for retirement and you're not even 24 I'm not gonna retire 'cause I'm still young at heart And time will tell, in the future, who has done their part And if you don't agree with me, well then you can sit home until your grave Because, at any age, we'll be on this stage playing fast, smart, strong, and brave Oh, my god, it's Ernie
