about
Old dogs who don't learn new tricks. Woof!
lyrics
He lied to himself all his life
Til the lies became real
Let nobody get close
In case he started to feel
If he gets near the edge
He can't take the leap
But he'll jump off the ledge to avoid getting deep
As time rolled along
He dug in his heels, fate sealed.
First time around thought he'd be there til the end
But he played the game of the fair weather friend
The man who didn't evolve
The boy who only grew old
He's a ManChild! etc
You had the chance to show everybody you'd changed
But you only succeeded to become more estranged
The man who didn't evolve
The boy who only grew old
He said "why fix it if it ain't broke"
Drank his beer & lit another smoke
The man who couldn't be told
He's a ManChild!
Til the lies became real
Let nobody get close
In case he started to feel
If he gets near the edge
He can't take the leap
But he'll jump off the ledge to avoid getting deep
As time rolled along
He dug in his heels, fate sealed.
First time around thought he'd be there til the end
But he played the game of the fair weather friend
The man who didn't evolve
The boy who only grew old
He's a ManChild! etc
You had the chance to show everybody you'd changed
But you only succeeded to become more estranged
The man who didn't evolve
The boy who only grew old
He said "why fix it if it ain't broke"
Drank his beer & lit another smoke
The man who couldn't be told
He's a ManChild!
