I was only twelve years old when I started having dreams

About playing in a band without hypocrisy

But as I'm older now, I've come to realize

That playing in a band is not utopia, so here is my advice

Yeah, you gotta try real hard to get rid of them

Of all these old-fashioned ideas that

You've been having about this music

Yeah, you gotta try real hard to get out of this

Out of this hypocrisy, 'cause there's

Nothing you can do about it, about it

One day I was old enough to realize my dreams

I could not know that music isn't what it seems

But as I'm older now, I've come to realize

That playing in a band is not utopia, so here is my advice

Yeah, you gotta try real hard to get rid of them

Of all these old-fashioned ideas that

You've been having about this music

Yeah, you gotta try real hard to get out of this

Out of this hypocrisy, 'cause there's

Nothing you can do about it, about it
