Was I supposed to wear a suit? No, that's the point of the song I ain't tradin' my youth for no suit and jacket I ain't givin' my freedom for your money and status So don't say I'm gettin' older 'Cause I'll say it when I do 'Cause everybody I know, everybody I know Is growin' old, growin' old too quickly And I don't wanna go, no, how am I supposed To slow it down, so I can figure out who I am? I ain't tradin' my dreams for no 401k And I ain't givin' this fire for a cold, cold heart So don't say I'm gettin' colder 'Cause I'll say it when I do 'Cause everybody I know, everybody I know Is growin' old, growin' old too quickly And I don't wanna go, no, how am I supposed To slow it down, so I can figure out who I am? Some of us survivin', some of us just roamin' Some of us just hopin' the world will move more slowly And some of us alive, we're all gonna die one day Some of us survivin', some of us just roamin' Some of us just hopin' the world will move more slowly Some of us alive, we're all gonna die one day Some of us survivin', some of us just roamin' Some of us just hopin' the world will move more slowly And some of us alive, we're all gonna die one day 'Cause everybody I know, everybody I know Is growin' old, growin' old too quickly And I don't wanna go, no, how am I supposed To slow it down, so I can figure out who I am?
