Lyrics Getting older/losing touch The Methadones

Getting older/losing touch


Looking around wondering what became
of what I once knew
pop punk mutation lacking passion
that keeps ringing untrue
there's something wrong with this picture
hot topic setting standards for you to consume

Many of the roots can be traced back
to where were standing
there were people just like me and you
who never thought of landing
in a place bands got squeezed to make room
for third generation blink-182 rip off's

[Chorus]
Is there something I don't get? How did you buy into this?
Am I just getting older-losing touch?
Or is there something I don't see
I'm scratching my head in disbelief
Am I just getting older-losing touch?
Am I losing touch?

Went to the vans warped tour last weekend
was an outsider looking in
all the kids were buying so much crap
amidst a generation gap
it was so fucking hot-it sucked
wanted a beer it cost six bucks

Seen many faces throughout the years
as soon as they come disappear
and now I watch this band with black makeup
and silly synchronized jumps
in a gigantic parking lot
in the Wal-Mart of punk rock

[Chorus]
I can't forget who I am or what I know
or change what I believe
you can sell rebellion package it in many ways
and claim it's not alright for me

Am I losing touch-should I just give up?
am I losing touch-if I don't understand you
am I losing touch-if I never will
am I losing touch?

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics GETTING OLDER/LOSING TOUCH of THE METHADONES is also present in the album This won't hurt (2007)
