This song never gets old
But your conversation does.
“This song never gets old.”
I hear you telling the person
on your other side.
We’re listening to “Can’t You See”
and an old fogey
has to ruin it
with the standard old fogey complaint:
“This song is a classic.
Everything new sucks.
It’s all forgettable.”
I can remember a day
when even older fogeys
were making the same rip
on his favorite tunes.
I remember when Tom Petty
was a pedestrian rocker.
I remember when the Clash
and the Talking Heads were
called disposable by fogeys.
You are right about one thing.
This song may never get old
but you damn sure have.
