Story behind the song
It was a good run, but it stopped being fun when there was no there there.
Lyrics
When I was a young man I played in a band We weren’t the best but at least I could stand To crank it up with the drummer and drown out the words The whole thing was so absurd Once upon a time I thought of something to say And someone would listen when I came to play But now I keep my mouth shut, I don’t say a word Because the whole thing is so absurd Ch Existential man, I got nothing to say It’s gettin’so there ain’t no place that I want to play I’m keeping my mouth shut, not sayin’ a word Because the whole thing is so absurd I’m a little bit older and I’ve been round the block And try as you may, you know you can’t stop the clock So if you’re looking for honey, just remember one thing Bees still know how to sting I like being a loner and by now I’ve learned how: When it’s closed up tight my foot won’t land in my mouth There’s no one to listen to the things I’d say So I shut up and I like it that way Ch Existential man, I got nothing to say It’s gettin’so there ain’t no place that I want to play I’m keeping my mouth shut,I’m not sayin’ a word Because the whole thing is so absurd Rockin and a rollin used to be my thing But now the cats around me say they’d rather play swing They turn down the volume and serve lyrical corn That’s the reason that I’m so forlorn Ch Existential man, I got nothing to say It’s gettin’so there ain’t no place that I want to play I’m keeping my mouth shut, not sayin’ a word Because the whole thing is so absurd
