How Why Wuz How Why Am

Mighty Mighty Bosstones
(album: Devil´s Nite Out)

I used to talk to cab drivers, now I just don´t bother.
I´d empty out my pockets if someone asked me for a quarter.
There was a time I´d give the time
To the old, the weak, and the weird.
I just don´t know why this is so but I´ve never been so scared.
Am i getting older?
Are things getting harder?
I used to never cry when I would think about my father.
The years went by so goddamn fast,
You know, I´ve left a lot behind.
My devil may care attitude, you know, I just can´t seem to find.
Once upon a time I never minded very much.
I never let it knock me down or grind me out of touch.
Once I had an outlook different than it is.
Full of dreams and schemes, it seems they just do not exist.
Once I told myself he will not be missed.
I never thought I´d see the day I´d ever feel like this.
