Lyrics The Walkmen

The Walkmen

We've Been Had

Well I'm a modern guy I don't care much for the go-go

or the retro image I see so often telling me to

keep trying maybe you'll get here someday

keep up the working, ok

I close the book on them right there

I see myself change as the days change over

I hear the songs and the words don't change

I write them out of the book right there

We've been had, you say it's over

Sometimes I'm just happy I'm older

We've been had I know it's over

Somehow it got easy to laugh out loud

See me age 19 with some dumb haircut from

1960 moving to New York City

live with my friends there we're all taking the same steps

they're foolish now

We've been had you say it's over

Sometimes I'm just happy I'm older

We've been had I know it's over

Somehow it got easy to laugh out loud
