Still Fighting It Lyrics

Good morning, son.

 I am a bird

 Wearing a brown polyester shirt

 You want a coke?

 Maybe some fries?

 The roast beef combo's only $9.95

 It's okay, you don't have to pay

 I've got all the change

 

 Everybody knows

 It hurts to grow up

 And everybody does

 It's so weird to be back here

 Let me tell you what

 The years go on and

 We're still fighting it, we're still fighting it

 And you're so much like me

 I'm sorry

 

 Good morning, son

 In twenty years from now

 Maybe we'll both sit down and have a few beers

 And I can tell you 'bout today

 And how I picked you up and everything changed

 It was pain

 Sunny days and rain

 I knew you'd feel the same things

 

 Everybody knows

 It sucks to grow up

 And everybody does

 It's so weird to be back here.

 Let me tell you what

 The years go on and

 We're still fighting it, we're still fighting it

 You'll try and try and one day you'll fly

 Away from me

 

 Good morning, son

 I am a bird

 

 It was pain

 Sunny days and rain

 I knew you'd feel the same things

 

 Everybody knows

 Tt hurts to grow up

 And everybody does

 It's so weird to be back here.

 Let me tell you what

 The years go on and

 We're still fighting it, we're still fighting it

 Oh, we're still fighting it, we're still fighting it

 

 And you're so much like me

 I'm sorry
