One for the Ages

Lyrics

[Verse 1] As I slip and slide Banging 'gainst the walls Barely qualified Drifting barren halls [Pre-Chorus 1] Bosses oft deride I accept their charm Someday this will change Experts, they will swarm [Chorus 1] 'Cause it's one, it's one It's one for the ages It's one, it's one It's one for the ages [Verse 2] As I write my tome Every single night My eyes show the strain Of computer light [Pre-Chorus 2] But I'm pressing on Every word a pearl And I'm pressing on It will change the world [Chorus 2] 'Cause it's one, it's one It's one for the ages It's one, it's one It's one for the ages It's one, it's one It's one for the ages It's one, it's one It's one for the ages [Verse 3] When that day arrives They'll say, "Isn't he That real quiet guy From accountancy? [Pre-Chorus 3] I knew all along He'd be something great I had pegged that guy For a special fate" [Chorus 3] 'Cause he's one, he's one He's one for the ages He's one, he's one He's one for the ages [Bridge] He's one, he's one He's one for the ages He's one, he's one He's one for the ages [Verse 4] When the statues come Hope they look like me When the prizes come I will look to be [Pre-Chorus 4] Humble in my speech Basking in applause Soon the backlash comes I don't care, because [Chorus 4] It's one, it's one It's one for the ages It's one, it's one It's one for the ages It's one, it's one It's one for the ages It's one, it's one It's one for the ages It's one
