I feel drunk, but I'm sober
I'm young and I'm underpaid
I'm tired but I'm working, yeah
{I was the ripe old age of seven when this song came out, but I can remember listening to it then and liking it. Now I listen to it and I love it. Story of my life right now brought into focus by a song from way back when, back when I was way too young to get it. Well, I get it now. Good god, do I ever get it.}
{Also, praise the Pandora gods - and who can I blame for not turning me on to this whole internet radio revolution earlier? I'm hooked. All the horribly wonderful bands from my youth are on constant demand: in the car, at home, at work. I've got stations dedicated to Westlife, Pearl Jam, Jewel, NSYNC, Tom Petty and more. It's unreal! Shame on you for not sharing with me before!}
I realized the song I belted out in elementary school had hysterically racy lyrics and somehow, my mom was okay with that. I guess she was distracted by my younger siblings.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean, I used to go around singing "None of Your Business" by Salt N Pepa...I was probably 5 or 6. My mom didn't let me hang out too much with my older cousin alone after that!
