lyrics

I'm fighting a desperate holding action
Against Time (the bastard!) his forces advancing
First He'll take my knees and my short term memories
And someday He'll take all of me
But today will not be that day

'Cuz I'll fight back by riding my skateboard
And playing in a rock and roll band
Turning off my television
Making as much noise as I can

And today will not be that day
I will not lie down
I will not go quietly
Someday you can carry me out on my back
After a merciful heart attack
But right now I'm having fun
And I still feel young

I'm fighting a desperate holding action
Against Time (the bastard!) his forces advancing
Marching to the sea
Driven to my knees

But today will not be that day
I will not lie down
I will not go quietly
Someday you can carry me out on my back
After a worthless heart attack
But right now I'm having fun
And I still feel young
