From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2010-02-11:
I've got obligations and responsibilities
Corroding stucco and dental fees
I got LDL and credit card bills
A little more grey and a little blue pill
Bosses and families who think they know it all
I can see the writing but the print's too small
A fixed rate mortgage tied around my neck
Got a minivan straight up for my vette
I just can't watch em throw their lives away
So I pound on the floor and hear myself say
You play your music too loud I can't hear myself think
You party all night you have too much to drink
You drive too fast and you dress like a slob
Too busy looking for fun instead of finding a job
But I look in the mirror I don't understand
When did I become a cranky old man
Yeah when I look in the mirror I don't understand
I'm too damn young to be a cranky old man-- Arun Lakra, from the song Cranky, recorded on the SubPlot A album, Tragic Romantic Mocku Fantasy.
