Acting My Age

I always walk on the other side of the street

And I never shake hands with the people I meet

And they always dispute the things I know

Guess I'd like to tell them where to go

Guess I'd wish they'd stop searching me (To go)

There's no god, there's no church in me (To go)

There's an evil that lurks in me

Can't you see?

I always comb my hair the other way

And I'm always obscuring the things I say

There's a pile of opinions in my brain

They're so different but they sound the same

If I annoy you, it's meant to be (The same)

I'm not a toy and it's plain to see (The same)

Paranoia is what I mean

Can't you see?

Well, you always say it's so unusual

Why you always say it's strange?

Why I'm always acting like a fool

You know I'm never ever acting my age

Acting my age

I don't drink, don't smoke, don't shave

But I'm told I'm going through a phase

And I'm told I'm thinking like a kid

But I see the world for what it is

If you want it then you'll receive (It is)

All the hatred that's left in me (It is)

Don't forget that you hold the key

Wait and see

Well, you always say it's so unusual

Why you always say it's strange?

Why I'm always acting like a fool

You know I'm never ever acting my age

Acting my age

I always walk on the other side of the street

And I never shake hands with the people I meet

And they always dispute the things I know

Guess I'd like to tell them where to go

Guess I'd wish they'd stop searching me (To go)

There's no god, there's no church in me (To go)

There's an evil that lurks in me

Can't you see? (Can't you see?)

Well, you always say it's so unusual

Why you always say it's strange? (Strange)

Why I'm always acting like a fool

You know I'm never ever acting my age

You always say it's so unusual

Why you always say it's strange? (Strange)

Why I'm always acting like a fool

You know I'm never ever acting my age

I'm never ever acting my age

I'm never, never, never acting my age
