La Da Da - The Fold

Seventeen, no question that I knew everything

It’s plain to see community college wasn’t me

I got the call, that L.A. needed somebody like me

I left my girlfriend behind, I’m gonna see my name in lights

La Da Da, I could get used to this

But on record two, they signed another band that sounds just like you

It’s nothing personal, take your songs and make your own demo

But this cannot be, they said they’d make a big star out of me

Guess I’ll catch my breath, find that girl, and try again at 23

La Da Da, I’ll get used to it

La Da Da, I’ll get used to the pain

We’re better off, ya know?

Who needs em, anyway?

If their heads get any bigger they might just float away

We’re getting older now, and we’re hungry for the truth

Such a shame such fun was wasted on our youth

Once again, I found myself with music on my hands

I found God, he told me it’s okay to start another band

We had a run, until the whole thing fell apart with the economy

Just like that, my newfound friends had all abandoned me

La Da Da, I’ll get used to the pain

La Da Da, I’m getting used to the pain

La Da Da, I’m getting used to it

La Da Da, La Da Da

Here I am, ten years after this soap opera began

Wife and child, I make up in joy what I may lack in style

I’m writing down the things I’ve always hid from in the past

Just today, I can finally say that I’m a lucky man

La Da Da, I could get used to this
