Lyrics Donald Fagen – The New Breed
Text:
Tonight I ran into that kid
Who’s been upgrading all your stuff
You’re right, he really knows his shit
A real diamond in the rough
So tell me, he doesn’t seem your type
But is there something I should know
Don’t lie — are you trying to hide that special glow
Back then I know one thing you liked
Was my flatline attitude
Who’d think you’d ever fall for this
Some total as-if type of dude
A funny little hum clicks on
You the new breed all right
I guess you’re what she wants now
You’re young and strong
And you own the night
Good luck to you both
I’ll get along somehow
I get it, you look at me and think
He’s ready for Jurassic Park
He’s sweet, but it’s time to find a keener spark
I guess I’ll make my exit now
Before you twist the knife
It’s best if I just leave you here
To your new dotcom slash life
A funny little hum clicks on
You the new breed all right
I guess you’re what she wants now
You’re young and strong
Good luck to you both
I’ll get along somehow
