Identified With The Past

I thought I was so current
Thought my music would last
Then it all slipped away
My youth dried up so fast
This younger generation
They're too much into rap
They don't know me from Adam
I'm Identified With The Past

I thought I was so cool
With my bell bottom pants
My John Travolta shirts
I guess you know the rest
Women look around me
I'm giving up the quest
I'm from another era
Identified With The Past

They call me young man
But I read between the lines
I know what they mean
They mean I'm past my prime

I thought I was so current
Thought my music would last
Then it all slipped away
My youth dried up so fast
I thought I couldn't age
What a strange contrast
As I look into the mirror
Identified With The Past
