So far away, way back when,

The people that claim to have known me then.

They're not on my wavelength,

The fame game, oh the name game.

Oh the name game,
F
Lord it's a cryin' shame,
G
Lord tell me what's to blame?

Reinvented all the stories they know,
F G
Give them all a different slant.

What is it that they're really looking for?

Just a hobby on the internet.

So far away, way back when,
