Everybody keeps telling me to "Keep doing what you're doing," so I keep doing just that

But it don't mean a thing

Just the other day, a real good friend of mine said "You're doing fine, doing great, great, great, great, great."

I didn't say anything

A young man's dream at 17

Got shit done at 21

At 32, I met you

I made a little money at 40

I made a little money at 40

I made a little money at 40

But nothing happens at 47

When I was young, just a little boy

I lived far, far, far, far, far away from here

And I was really loved

They would hold me in their arms, tuck me into bed

Help me go to sleep, 'cause I could never really go to sleep

All that well

A young man's dreams at 17

Got shit done at 21

At 32, I met you

I made a little money at 40

I made a little money at 40

I made a little money at 40

But nothing happens at 47

I'm still walking in the big, big park

Digging around in my keep weak heart

I'm looking for help

This human condition, I made it my mission

To following the cash, go with the masses

Promises, promises, promises, promises, promises

I made to myself

A young man's dreams at 17

Got shit done at 21

At 32, I met you

I made a little money at 40

I made a little money at 40

I made a little money at 40

But nothing happens at 47
