Dignified and Old

My telephone never rings
She'd never call me
I hate myself today
But I can see through this bitterness and sadness
And so I won't die
Someday I think I'll be dignified and old

Well my friends say that I decieve myself
And that I contradict myself
And I can't say if they're right
But I'm not ashamed
oh I can take a challenge
And so I won't die
Someday I'll be dignified and old, I know it!
