When I was a little boy
I wanted to be in a band
Just like the Beatles and Stones
That's how I would make my bones
We might take over the world
Make all of the young girls scream
That was my dream
That was my dream
Every tale has its arc
A place that the story can wind and wend
The beginning, the middle and the end
Every life has its time
Not so hard to comprehend
The beginning, the middle and the end
Things didn't go as planned
For my little rock 'n' roll band
Couldn't seem to catch a break
Had to give it up for goodness sake
Got myself a so-called a life
Got a job and got a wife
That's how it goes
Then one day I was driving myself to work
When I got cut off by some stupid jerk
We got into a fight and he pulled a knife
And that's the way I concluded my life
