The shoes you wear, ain't the shoes I'd wear  But I don't care  You've got things to say  But they're thrown away 'cause they're so passe  To them, they, who are they anyway  They're just beating each other at being each other  With nothin' to say   So everyone cares 'cause the hat that he wears is on the wrong way  And I heard them say "Don't be square"  So square we'll stay  Without them, they, who are they anyway  They're just beating each other at being each other  With nothin' to say    [CHORUS]  I'm holdin' on to my old man's sneakers  Just goin' deaf to my hi-fi records and  Hangin' round at the pawn shop  Waitin' for nothin' to change  Anything strange is wrong    [INSTRUMENTAL]    So here we are  In a dead man's car goin' to the show  In my old chapeau  Well it's full of holes but it's got more soul  That them, they, who are they anyway  They're just beating each other at being each other  With nothin' to say    [CHORUS]  I'm holdin' on to my old man's sneakers  Just goin' deaf to my hi-fi records and  Hangin' round at the pawn shop  Waitin' for nothin' to change  Anything strange is wrong
