Blast from the Past

Well back when I was a little kid

I stood apart because the things I did

Well the other kids fighting, tearing up school

I’d slick back my hair and I’d play it cool

Theres something wrong with this boys head

yeah they took me to the doctor and this is what he said

Well his body’s in the present but his minds in the past

hes gotta lotta rockin’ and he’s built to last

He’ll grow up strong and he’ll grow up fast

he’s a retro kid, he’s a BLAST FROM THE PAST

As time went on my condition advanced

rockin’ and a-rollin’ at a teenage dance

Indie girl tells me I’m out of style

she tries to put me down but i just smile

fads and trends you know they come and go,

they’ve all got nothing on rock’n’roll

Because my bodys in the present but my minds in the past

I gotta lotta rockin’ and I’m built to last

you know I’m way too strong and I’m way too fast

I’m a blast from the past

You can call it delusion, you can say I’m mad

long as I’m rockin’ I ain’t never sad

Parents say son "won’t you try to be sane?”

teacher agrees and my boss feels the same

But I don’t care, cause when I die

I’ll see you all in 1959

You can’t catch me,

I’m a blast from the past
