TWENTYFIVE

I’m not naive anymore
A lot of water has flowed
Under the bridge Since I was a kid
You think you can detect
What's in my heart and in my head
It's hard to get to earn my respect, girl

You love the shiny awards
But not the body of work
I sweated blood to get here

So don't you ever mess with me !!

It’s been a long time since I was twenty-five, girl
I grew up with Bad Religion, on skateboards
It’s been a long time since I was twenty-five, girl
I grew up with Stones and Beatles so guess what       
It’s been a long time since I was twenty-five

You shouldn’t bore me now
‘cause I don’t wanna hear about
Your trivial topic You’d better drop it

You don't get no PHD
By simply staying on the scene
I sweated blood and I'm still here

Don't you ever mess with me !!

It’s been a long time since I was twenty-five, girl
I grew up with Alice Cooper, and hard rock
It’s been a long time since I was twenty-five, girl
I grew up with Ozzy Osbourne so guess what 
It’s been a long time since I was

I've studied how to play and how to sing
I couldn't count on new technologies
'cause I was young in the twentieth century, century
I remember when “reality”
Was no junk format on TV
'cause I was schooled in the twentieth century

It’s been a long time since I was twenty-five, girl
Could you drive and call the shots (here) on the road

It’s been a long time since I was twenty-five
It’s been a long time since I was twenty-five

It’s been a long time since I was twenty-five, girl
I grew up with Iron Maiden and Ramones
It’s been a long time since I was twenty-five, girl
I GREW UP  LONG  AGO    SO GUESS WHAT    
It’s been a long time since I was
It’s been a long time since I was
It’s been a long time since I was twenty-five
