Lyrics
100 Years
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The sun is warm as the day is long
Just got the feeling I can do no wrongÂ
Got a long way to walk can't afford my next meal,Â
I tell a few lies, but my hunger is real and it...
Chorus:Â
won't mean thing in 100 yearsÂ
no it won't mean a thing in 100 yearsÂ
Mademoiselle tell me do you playÂ
well if she shakes her head wellÂ
then that's OK
I watch her walk away in hasteÂ
there's just no accounting forÂ
some people's tasteÂ
and it...Â
ChorusÂ
Big angry men in the doorway thereÂ
Just keep on walking like I don't careÂ
Why you giving such an evil eyeÂ
could it be you were ignored byÂ
every passerbyÂ
and it...Â
ChorusÂ
Play in the park for tobacco and foodÂ
then I excuse myself but they think I'm rudeÂ
Tourist don't want me to end his showÂ
but this colorful attraction gotÂ
place to goÂ
and it...Â
ChorusÂ
Sit at the pier watch the sun go downÂ
Another lost little boy in a big old townÂ
I want to laugh, I want to cryÂ
but no matter how hard I may tryÂ
Chorus twice
