THE NEW SLOW

I PACKED MY THINGS JUST LIKE I SAID
I PACKED THEM ALL INSIDE MY HEAD
I LEFT MY SHOES RIGHT BY THE STEPS
BUT MY LACES BURNED OFF OF MY NINETY-SEVS
HEY YOU'D HATE TO KNOW THE MAN I USE TO BE
I HELD IT UP AS HIGH I COULD
MY KNUCKLES BLED OUT GASOLINE
I SHAVED MY HEAD I THOUGHT IT'D MAKE ME
MORE OF THE MAN THE MAND SAID THAT I'D BE
BUT WHO WANTS TO BE THE MAN IN 2023
HEY I'M NOTHING LIKE I SAID I USE TO BE
HEY I'M NOTHING LIKE I SAID I USE TO BE
HEY I'M NOTHING LIKE I SAID I USE TO BE
HEY I'M NOTHING LIKE I SAID I USE TO BE
YOU'D HATE TO KNOW THE MAN I USE TO BE
YOU'D HATE TO KNOW THE MAN I USE TO BE
