21

 

Got a feeling twenty-one is going to be a good year

Especially if you and me see it in together

So you think twenty-one is going to be a good year

It could be good for me and her, but you and her, no never

 

I had no reason to be over optimistic

But somehow when you smiled I can brave bad weather

 

What about the boy?

What about the boy?

What about the boy?

He saw it all

 

You didn’t hear it, you didn’t see it

You won’t say nothing to no one ever in your life

You never heard it, oh, how absurd it

All seems without any proof

 

You didn’t hear it, you didn’t see it

You never heard it not a word of it

You won’t say nothing to no one

Never tell a soul, what you know is the truth

Got a feeling twenty-one is going to be a good year

Especially if you and me see it in together

Got a feeling twenty-one is going to be a good year

Especially if you and me see it in together

 

I had no reason to be over optimistic

But somehow when you smiled I can brave bad weather

 

What about the boy?

 

– “1921,” by The Who, from Tommy

 

 

In this case, however, “the boy” at the end stands for:

 

Covid

Lockdowns and mandatory masking

SJWs

Social media mobs and censorship

More fundamental change of the United States

Pope Francis

The Union of Soviet Socialist Workplaces

Passive-aggressive religious persecution

 

And for me, personally,

 

Health

Wealth

Getting the oldest into a college that won’t break either she or me

Keeping the youngest on track

Staying employed

 

Well, on a brighter note,

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
