Blues Traveler – 100 Years lyrics
Music & lyrics: john popper

The sun is warm as the day is long
I just got the feeling I can do no wrong
I've got a long way to walk
Can't afford my next meal
I tell a few lies but my hunger is real

And it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
No, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years

Mademoiselle tell me do you play
Well, if she shakes her head, well then that's okay
I watch her walk away in haste
There's just no accounting for some people's taste,

And it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
No, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years

Big angry man in the doorway there
Just keep on walking like I don't care
Why you giving such an evil eye
Could it be you were ignored by every passerby

And it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
No, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years

Play in the park for tobacco and food
Then I excuse myself but they think I'm rude
Tourist don't want me to end his show
But this colorful attraction got places to go

And it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
No, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years

Sit at the pier watch the sun go down
Another lost little boy in a big old town
I want to laugh I want to cry
But no matter how hard I may try

It won't mean a thing in a hundred years
No, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years

It won't mean a thing in a hundred years
No, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years

    I have read some interpretations of this song that indicate its won't mean a thing in 100 years' as a bad thing. To me, it means the opposite. These little slights and inconveniences are not worth worrying over. In the big picture it will not matter, so just keep moving on and stay focused on the 'now'. Listening to this song has helped me grow through some difficult times. So much so that I have the music from the refrain tattooed on my calf. I had been trying to figure out how to represent the song with a tattoo for a long time, and that's what I came up with! I love it! Someday, I would love to get the words 'It won't mean a thing in 100 years' in John Popper's handwriting, and have them added beneath the music bars..
