Figured You'd Be Here

Figured You’d Be Here

Get a haircut, ya damn hippy!
And trust me, I'm over thirty.
Yeah, that's the bad news,
you're gonna get old,
older than you can imagine,
and I'm the exception to the rule -
trust me. Don't expect me
to tell you what will happen;
you can't change that, but
you can do it better this time.
Do what's in your heart
but don't worry about it -
as the Ozzies say,
she'll be right, mate!
