2.1555 : 8/5/09 : Don’t Mention It (The Golden Age 100/100)

The numbers don’t wait for your good intentions

or your shining hour or your moment of truth

You get what you’re dealt all your honorable mentions

all of us getting slower getting long in the tooth

Don’t mention it don’t mention it

I’d rather stay obscure

keep toiling in anonymity

Maybe someday I’ll be sure

However hard I tried I couldn’t master the popular tone

Maybe life’s gotten too easy short on crisis and shock

Maybe I’m just too wordy all that talking to myself alone

Too much self-evaluation too much taking stock

Don’t mention it don’t mention it

I’d rather stay obscure

keep toiling in anonymity

Maybe someday I’ll be sure

Don’t mention it don’t mention it

I’d rather stay obscure

keep toiling in anonymity

Maybe someday I’ll be sure

Don’t mention it don’t mention it

I’d rather stay obscure

keep toiling in anonymity

Maybe someday I’ll be sure
