The shoes you wear, ain´t the shoes I´d wear
But I don´t care
You´ve got things to say
But they´re thrown away ´cause they´re so passe
To them, they, who are they anyway
They´re just beating each other at being each other
With nothin´ to say
So everyone cares ´cause the hat that he wears is on the wrong way
And I heard them say "Don´t be square"
So square we´ll stay
Without them, they, who are they anyway
They´re just beating each other at being each other
With nothin´ to say

[CHORUS]
I´m holdin´ on to my old man´s sneakers
Just goin´ deaf to my hi-fi records and
Hangin´ round at the pawn shop
Waitin´ for nothin´ to change
Anything strange is wrong

[INSTRUMENTAL]

So here we are
In a dead man´s car goin´ to the show
In my old chapeau
Well it´s full of holes but it´s got more soul
That them, they, who are they anyway
They´re just beating each other at being each other
With nothin´ to say

[CHORUS]
I´m holdin´ on to my old man´s sneakers
Just goin´ deaf to my hi-fi records and
Hangin´ round at the pawn shop
Waitin´ for nothin´ to change
Anything strange is wrong
