There was a time when girls were dumb, and everyone liked you if you were a cad
There was a time when people were numb, and the rich had it all, and life was a fad
There was a time, then it went to shit.
I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When I could fuck around with pleasure
I dreamed my hair would never die
I dreamed she'd be naive forever
Then I was young, well, young enough
And girls got drunk and used and wasted
I fooled them all when I would bluff
And knock-out drugs were never tasted
But 3-0 comes at night
Say goodbye to mindless blunders
Now no more impunity
But responsibilities...
I slept a summer by her side
I knocked her up while she did slumber
I took her wallet in my stride
But she woke up before I left.
And still I think of me, me, me
And dream that girls like guys who use them
But there are dreams that cannot be
And older men just don't bemuse them
I had a dream my life would be
So different from this state of limbo
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has raped the dream I dreamed.
