Barenaked Ladies ~ New Kid (on The Block)


Words and music by scott dibble, steven page & ed robertson I didn't ask to be famous, but i'm not sore. 'cause you can see my face in the window of every store. You can buy my lunch box. You can wear my clothes. You can remember my name just as plain as The face under your nose. I'm a new kid on the block, 'though i may not be johann sebastian bach. So we may not write the songs we sing, But look at elvis, he sold his soul and You crowned him king. I didn't ask to be famous, but i'm not sad. You see, i've got everything that i Always wished i had. I thank my manager and i thank the screaming girls, I thank my hairdresser for giving me such beautiful curls. Now i'm a new kid on the block, Well i'm twenty-three and they won't let me grow up. I went down to register for the draft, Well i got up to the counter, and the lady there just laughed. She said you're a new kid on the block, Young girls scream and old boys mock, Well you broke my youngest daughter's heart. I knew you kids were trouble from the start. I didn't ask to be famous, but i'm not sure That we're as apple pie as you always thought we were. I can stay up all night. i can have a blast. I can breakdance, i can fight, i can kick your sorry ass. I'm a new kid on the block, And 'though i may not be johann sebastian back, There's no need to be afraid of us 'though it just might be your daughter on our bus. more free lyrics

I didn't ask to be famous, but i'm not sore.
'cause you can see my face in the window of every store.
You can buy my lunch box.
You can wear my clothes.
You can remember my name just as plain as
The face under your nose.

I'm a new kid on the block,
'though i may not be johann sebastian bach.
So we may not write the songs we sing,
But look at elvis, he sold his soul and
You crowned him king.

I didn't ask to be famous, but i'm not sad.
You see, i've got everything that i
Always wished i had.
I thank my manager and i thank the screaming girls,
I thank my hairdresser for giving me such beautiful curls.

Now i'm a new kid on the block,
Well i'm twenty-three and they won't let me grow up.
I went down to register for the draft,
Well i got up to the counter, and the lady there just laughed.

She said you're a new kid on the block,
Young girls scream and old boys mock,
Well you broke my youngest daughter's heart.
I knew you kids were trouble from the start.

I didn't ask to be famous, but i'm not sure
That we're as apple pie as you always thought we were.
I can stay up all night. i can have a blast.
I can breakdance, i can fight, i can kick your sorry ass.

I'm a new kid on the block,
And 'though i may not be johann sebastian back,
There's no need to be afraid of us
'though it just might be your daughter on our bus.

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
