The shoes you wear, ain't the shoes I'd wear

But I don't care

You've got things to say

But they're thrown away 'cause they're so passe

To them, they, who are they anyway

They're just beating each other at being each other

With nothin' to say

So everyone cares 'cause the hat that he wears is on the wrong way

And I heard them say "Don't be square"

So square we'll stay

Without them, they, who are they anyway

They're just beating each other at being each other

With nothin' to say



[CHORUS]

I'm holdin' on to my old man's sneakers

Just goin' deaf to my hi-fi records and

Hangin' round at the pawn shop

Waitin' for nothin' to change

Anything strange is wrong



[INSTRUMENTAL]



So here we are

In a dead man's car goin' to the show

In my old chapeau

Well it's full of holes but it's got more soul

That them, they, who are they anyway

They're just beating each other at being each other

With nothin' to say



[CHORUS]

I'm holdin' on to my old man's sneakers

Just goin' deaf to my hi-fi records and

Hangin' round at the pawn shop

Waitin' for nothin' to change

Anything strange is wrong
