1973

[00:11.21] Here I am alone, like always
[00:13.67] Chasing shadows down empty hallways
[00:16.82] I've got no one to talk to but so much to say
[00:23.42] Thought I was smart but I can't figure this out
[00:26.54] Why doesn't anybody hear me when I shout
[00:29.56] "Hey, yeah, yeah"
[00:32.77] "Hey, yeah, yeah"
[00:35.89] "Hey, yeah!"
[00:38.88] I look up
[00:40.12] I see clear blue sky
[00:41.82] But I'm stuck
[00:43.68] In this life where I don't know who I should be
[00:48.98] In 1973
[00:54.10] Why can't I be cool? Someone tell me!
[00:57.40] Just the thought of school makes my hands swell up
[01:00.86] And that pretty much sums up every day
[01:07.13] But at least I also have my sister
[01:10.46] No guy can resist her when she sings
[01:13.22] "Hey, yeah, yeah"
[01:16.65] "Hey, yeah, yeah"
[01:19.85] "Hey, yeah!"
[01:22.88] Hey, Dr. Pubes, what's going on, man?
[01:26.27] I look down
[01:27.56] 'Cause I can't see straight
[01:29.27] And Mom's cooking again
[01:30.56] So thank God I ate
[01:32.62] Survival is the key
[01:36.01] In 1973
[01:38.95] Anita, is that you? I'm making soy cutlets!
[01:41.94] Mom, I already ate
[01:43.58] Wait! You've been kissing!
[01:45.75] No, I haven't
[01:47.59] Yes you have, I can tell
[01:49.22] You can't tell!
[01:51.18] She knows everything
[01:54.83] She can read your mind
[01:57.48] She's what you get if Socrates and Cojack were combined
[02:03.95] But Anita's just as strong
[02:06.93] She's never sorry, and never wrong
[02:10.18] Never!
[02:10.68] I love them both
[02:11.55] I just wish they could get along
[02:14.86] What do you have under your coat?
[02:16.16] It's unfair that we can't listen to our music!
[02:18.15] Honey, it's all about drugs and promiscuous sex
[02:21.46] Simon and Garfunkel is poetry!
[02:23.72] Yes, it's poetry, it's the poetry of drugs and promiscuous sex!
[02:27.79] Honey, they're on pot
[02:29.53] First it was butter, and sugar, white flour
[02:33.35] Baking eggs and baloney
[02:36.34] And making us celebrate Christmas in September
[02:39.68] When it isn't commercialized or phony!
[02:42.63] And now it's motorcycles and rock n' roll
[02:46.22] I can't stand your constant control
[02:49.14] It's corrupt, 'cause you say so
[02:52.40] Look at us!
[02:54.08] We're like nobody else I know
[02:58.07] I can't live here, I hate you
[03:00.32] Even William hates you
[03:01.63] I don't hate her!
[03:02.92] He doesn't even know the truth
[03:04.91] You put him in first grade when he was five
[03:06.89] You told him he was six, and he believed you
[03:08.81] Then you skipped him right over fifth grade
[03:10.83] Nothing happens in the fifth grade!
[03:12.77] Maybe fractions
[03:14.05] Don't you see?
[03:15.02] The other kids make fun of him
[03:16.62] He's got no crowd
[03:18.08] He's younger than he even knows
[03:20.39] Wait, how old—?
[03:22.60] You robbed him of his prime!
[03:25.83] How old am I?!
[03:27.86] He'll never get back this time
[03:31.26] You should be seventeen
[03:32.89] You think you're sixteen
[03:34.42] But you actually just turned fifteen!
[03:36.98] This explains so much!
[03:41.28] Who wants to be average, part of the crowd?
[03:44.26] Be exceptional, get out from under this cloud
[03:47.83] And graduate early, your dad would be so proud
[03:52.43] You'll see the world while they're stuck in class
[03:55.74] Hoping by some miracle they'll pass
[04:02.87] Well, there it is, William (Look around)
[04:04.45] Now you can see why you never had a chance (See what you like)
[04:08.69] You are distinctive, unique, sparkling
[04:11.98] A predominantly accelerated child!
[04:14.23] What about me?
[04:15.66] You're rebellious and ungrateful of my love
[04:17.63]
[04:24.80] So now the day has come and I'm grieving
[04:28.17] The day where my big sister is leaving
[04:31.48] Take good care of her in San Francisco, man!
[04:35.11] See ya' later, Dr. Pubes
[04:37.77] So here I am, right back where I started
[04:41.30] And we're more broken, and broken-hearted
[04:44.75] You're in prison
[04:46.05] I'm gonna help you get out
[04:47.65] These are my albums
[04:48.87] Listen to "Tommy" by The Who with a candle burning
[04:51.37] It'll set you free
[04:53.74] One day, you'll be cool
[05:00.57] Hey, yeah, yeah
[05:03.87] Hey, yeah, yeah
[05:07.29] Hey, yeah
[05:13.13] I look back
[05:14.84] To see where I've been
[05:16.38] Watch it fade to black
[05:18.06] So my life can begin
[05:19.92] It's time to say goodbye
[05:22.57] Goodbye (Goodbye)
[05:28.32] Free (It's all up to me)
[05:31.96] In 1973! (1973)
[05:37.80] Goodbye, goodbye
[05:46.77] Goodbye!
[05:55.13]
