The Thing Of It Is - Obsolete
There's a lotta people goin' out
Get in your face
Worried about maybe getting replaced
Well they ought to be
Maybe they gotta be
There's a lotta people wanna have a TV star
Loud in the mouth, long in the car
Like they wanna be
Wishin' they gonna be
Pontiacs, buggy whips, and land lines
Ipecac, battleships, and land mines
All had their time but they moved it too slow
So when some things decay, well they just gotta go
There's a lotta people goin' out, goin' to waste
Headin' for Vegas, losin' their taste
Never think about
What they can't drink about
Skoal
One step forward three steps back
Do a little sidestep onto the track
Look up ahead
And don't mind the light
All a-turnin' blind as we go into the night
Money clips, no-pest strips, and moonshine
Typist pools, hard knock schools, and grapevines
Well they once had their time, but it's starting to show
If some things never change, then they just gotta go
Some ignorant emotions been goin' around
Out of their shell, up from the ground
It's self-evident
They set a bad precedent
There's a lotta people speakin' out, thinkin' they're smart
Buyin' the lines, filling their cart
But they'll never be
If they don't wanna be
Pontiacs, buggy whips, and land lines
Ipecac, battleships, and land mines
All had their time but they moved it too slow
So when some things decay, well they just gotta go
