Well right out of the sky came a curious kid
Stickin alphabet letters to the mini fridge
Singin Flyin Purple People Eaters
Waiting on his voice to change
He turned 16 a young entrepreneur
Got himself a job down at the In-N-Out Burger
He was mixing mixtapes in with the orders
Until somebody called and complained
Well so it goes
It goes so fast
You get bounced you bounce right back
Like you've always done
Somewhere out in the universe
There's a luckier version of me
He made it on the big TV
But I wouldn't know
So it goes
Well it didn't take long til I updated my racket
Bought myself a new Starter jacket
Went to proselytizing for a few bad habits
Stuffed a cushion full of cold hard cash
But I learned real quick, I just ain't that bold
Somebody kicked in my front door with a Samurai sword
I gave up my money without so much as a word
And they made off with the rest of the stash
Well so it goes
It goes so fast
You see your whole life go by in a flash
Man it hurts so bad
Somewhere out in the parallels
There's a tougher version of me
But I heard he died tragically
That's all I know
So it goes
Well I made it this far yeah I'm a little bit older
A little bit wiser, and still hungover
I got a little more baggage but broader shoulders
That still need rubbing at the end of the day
Yeah I call myself a real renaissance man
I'm just rarely up on the subject at hand
It takes too much effort to give a good damn
And nobody gives one anyway
Well so it goes
It goes so fast
I just heard another second pass
That we can't get back
Somewhere out in the cosmos
There's a younger version of me
But he's just as dumb as I'll ever be
This I know
So it goes
