Maybe it would be fun to get a new opinion
Get a little work done and forget
Maybe it would be cool if I rocked it old school
Try to break a gold rule and a sweat
Better than the first time, better than the worst time
If I could just reverse time
I'd be set

Testing 1-2-3 can anybody hear me? If I
Shed the irony would everybody cheer me
If I acted less like me would I be in the clear?

She got a new apartment out on the escarpment
In her glove compartment are my songs
She hasn't even heard them since she found out what the words meant
She decided she preferred them all wrong
Kind of like the last time, with a bunch of really fast rhymes
If we're living in the past I'm
Soon gone

Testing 1-2-3 can anybody hear me? If I
Shed the irony would everybody cheer me
If I acted less like me would I be in the clear?

We recognize the present is half as pleasant
As our nostalgia for
A past that we resented
Recast and reinvented
Until it's how we meant it

He's everything that you need
He wiped out on your ten-speed
And either he will succeed or just suck

Testing 1-2-3 can anybody hear me? If I
Shed the irony would everybody cheer me
If I acted less like me would I be in the clear?
