I've made up my mind
This is the time to relegate
No need to remind
That scans are unkind a lot of times

But I've tried
I've tried to write
What was in my head
What was in my head

Sometimes I feel, I feel so obsolete
Because the kids want a faster beat
And if I was free, free to leave
But it's my kids, they need to eat
But it's my kids, they need to eat

I love you it's true
I love you like the little bird
No need to remind
That life is unkind a lot of times

But I've tried
I've tried to write
What was in my head
What was in my head

Sometimes I feel, I feel so obsolete
Because the kids want a faster beat
And if I was free, free to leave
But it's my kids, they need to eat
But it's my kids, they need to eat

But it's my kids, they need to eat
But it's my kids, they need to eat
But it's my kids, they need to eat
But it's my kids, they need to eat

But it's my kids, they need to eat
But it's my kids, they need to eat
But it's my kids, they need to eat
And but for my kids
