Lyrics

[Chorus]
What will it be like when I get old?
[Verse 1]
Will I still hop on my bike and ride around town?
Will I still want to be someone and not just sit around?
I don't want to be like other adults 'cause they've already died
Cool and condescending, fossilized
[PreChorus]
Will I be rich? Will I be poor?
Or will I still sleep on the floor?
[Chorus]
What will it be like when I get
What will I be like when I get
What will it be like when I get old?
[Verse 2]
Will I still kiss my girlfriend and try to grab her ass?
Will I still hate the cops and have no class?
Will all my grown up friends say they've seen it all before?
They say, "Hey, act your age!", and I'm immature
[PreChorus]
Will I do myself proud
Or only what's allowed?
[Chorus]
What will it be like when I get
What will I be like when I get
What will it be like when I get old?
[Bridge]
Will I sit around and talk about the old days?
Sit around and watch TV?
I never want to go that way
Never burn out, not fade away
[PreChorus]
As I travel through my time
Will I like what I find?
[Chorus]
What will it be like when I get
What will I be like when I get
What will it be like when I get old?
