Oh, Mamma, I'm filled with sorrows
In a million ways
Don't care about tomorrows
Gimme yesterdays
The needle hits the groove and
The old record plays
My spirit starts a-movin'
Give me yesterdays
I hate to say
I hate today
I'm just not meant for these times
On a song somebody sang
I didn't understand the slang
I'm just not meant for new rhymes
I like things that are old
I like music you can hold
And they try to get me singin' their song
But I won't sing along
Cuz I can't relate, I can't relate
And they try to get me singin' their song
But I won't sing along
Cuz I can't relate, I can't relate
I try to be like other guys
And everybody rolls their eyes
I pretend that I don't care
Most people think I'm weird
All my friend have disappeared
Or, I guess, they were never there
My social life would be on fire
If only I was born sixty years prior
And they try to get me singin' their song
But I won't sing along
Cuz I can't relate, I can't relate
And they try to get me singin' their song
But I won't sing along
Cuz I can't relate, I can't relate
And I wanna change along with the tide
But I just run and hide
Cuz I can't relate, I can't relate
Everybody on their phone
Makes me feel so all alone
Their condition is so mint
I'm so faded and out of print, out of print, out of print
Oh, Mamma, I'm filled with sorrows
In a million ways
Don't care about tomorrows
Gimme yesterdays
The needle hits the groove and
The old record plays
My spirit starts a-movin'
Give me yesterdays
And they try to get me singin' their song
But I won't sing along
Cuz I can't relate, I can't relate
And they try to get me singin' their song
But I won't sing along
Cuz I can't relate, I can't relate
And I wanna change along with the tide
But I just run and hide
Cuz I can't relate, I can't relate
And a conversation starts to commence
But the words don't make sense
Cuz I can't relate, I can't relate
Try to get me singin' their song
But I won't sing along
Cuz I can't relate, I can't relate
And they try to get me singin' their song
But I won't sing along
Cuz I can't relate, I can't relate
