The Best We Got

One more, more or less, then we're done

Can't be sure if we had fun

Sweet sixteen been and gone

Eighteen next year, than we're done

Girls like me if they're younger

But girls my age want guys older

Guess I'm just stuck in the middle

Between easies and girls unattainable

Yeah, they say, these days are the best we got

What a tragic thought

And I try, and I try not to waste this time

But it just flies by the more I try

Slow down, don't speak, say something

Line up, don't cheat, stop staring

Sit down, shut up, start learning

Time's up, get out, start working

Yeah they say these days are the best we got

What a tragic thought

And I try, and I try not to waste this time

But it just flies by the more I try

La, la, la-la, la, la, la, la-la, la

La-la-la-la-la-la-la

La, la, la-la, la, la, la, la-la, la

La-la-la-la-la-la-la

Yeah they say these days are the best we got

What a tragic thought

And I try, and I try not to waste this time

But it just flies by the more I try

La, la, la-la, la, la, la, la-la, la

La-la-la-la-la-la-la

Yeah, they say, these days are the best we got

(La, la, la-la, la, la, la, la-la, la)

The best we got

(La-la-la-la-la-la-la)
