We’ve Been Had Lyrics
Well I'm a modern guy
I don't care much for the go-go
Or the retro image I see so often
Telling me to keep trying
Maybe you'll get here someday
Keep up the work, kid... Okay
I closed the book on them right there
I see myself change as the days change over
I hear the songs and the words don't change
I write them out of the book right there
We've been had, you say it's over
Sometimes I'm just happy I'm older
We've been had, I know it's over
Somehow it got easy to laugh out loud
See me age nineteen with some dumb haircut from 1960
Moving to New York City
Live with my friends there
We're all taking the same steps
They're foolish now
We've been had, you say it's over
Sometimes I'm just happy I'm older
We've been had, I know it's over
Somehow it got easy to laugh out loud
