Am I Deaf

(Album: The Knife - 2017)

You've been talking to yourself again
You haven't figured out you're your only friend
You've been fighting with yourself again
It's time to give up (Give it up)
Brush your teeth, comb your hair, what's left of it?
Write a song, see a show, stay relevant
Sing along to The Jam, feel young again
Time to live it up
It's time to live it up

Every time it feels just like I lost it, oh oh
I realize that my head is just so full
Of shit shit shit shit shit
Who gives a damn about the songs you're playing?
Just saying
Sometimes I feel so old, yeah
Am I deaf? Or am I just a little left
Of what they listen to today?

Na-na, na-na na-na na-na
Na-na na-na na-na
Na-na na-na na-na
Na-na na-na na-na

Video record every show you see
Sing along but you aren't here with me
It's like the whole thing is make believe
Not in this moment
At this point, no one is listening
After chorus one everything is boring
ADD add Ritalin
Is everybody loaded?
Is everybody loaded?

Every time it feels just like I lost it, oh oh
I realize that my head is just so full
Of shit shit shit shit shit
Who gives a damn about the songs you're playing?
Just saying
Sometimes I feel so old, yeah
Am I deaf? Or am I just a little left
Of what they listen to today?

I know I sound just like my dad did to me
Have I found a way out of the misery?
Music used to make me free
The Who, Black Flag, Dead Kennedys
Does anyone have something left to say?

Every time it feels just like I lost it, oh oh
I realize that my head is just so full
Of shit shit shit shit shit
Who gives a damn about the songs you're playing?
Just saying
Sometimes I feel so old, yeah
Am I deaf? Or am I just a little left
Of what they listen to today?

Na-na, na-na na-na na-na
(Of what they listen to)
Na-na na-na na-na
Na-na na-na na-na
(Of what they listen to today)
Na-na na-na na-na
