(john fiddler/overend watts)

Professionals. amateurs.

Step on the gas - I can't slow down now
Keep on the grass - I'm movin' too fast
What's it to you? - I'm livin' each day
Do something new - like it'll be my last

Ain't it a shame? - when you're old you're old yeah
You ain't to blame - 'n when you're young you're young
Don't it feel good? - if you feel that feelin' well
Knew that it would - come on and have some fun
I said I told you once before that you don't have to ask for more

And I don't care how long it takes
I'll keep on pushin' till the mornin' breaks
Till the mornin' breaks
Till the mornin' breaks
Till the mornin' breaks
Till the mornin' breaks
Till the mornin' breaks

Look like a fool - when you're too old to pogo
That ain't too cool - and you're too tired to strut
Get back to school - you must be eatin' loco weeds
In your breakfast and they kick you in the gut

Always the same - when you're wrong you're wrong
Part o' the game - 'n when you're right you're right
Ain't it a shame - why'know you better believe me
If you go out in the sun they gonna lock you up at night
I said I told you once before, don't want you hangin' round my door

And I don't care how long it takes
I'll keep on pushin' till the mornin' breaks
Till the mornin' breaks
Till the mornin' breaks
Till the mornin' breaks
Till the mornin' breaks
Till the mornin' breaks

1, 2, 3, 4
Look like a fool - when you're too old to pogo
That ain't too cool - and you're too tired to strut
Get back to school - well you must be eatin' loco weeds




In your breakfast and they kick you in the gut
I said I told you once before, why'd why'ever pass the cure

I love this tune. I think Dale Griffin is one of the greatest drummers ever. He is impecible in this song. Watts bass is solid. Hunter was crazy for leaving these guys.

Steve B

This song alone made it worth buying the album!

Bob Davis

A great song! It was also the B side to their cover of "Wild In The Streets." From a great album. Everyone afraid to get a Covid-19 booster shot should be made to listen to this over and over, haha.
