1972 (MCMLXXII) was a leap year starting on Saturday (dominical letter BA) of the Gregorian calendar, the 1972nd year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 972nd year of the 2nd millennium, the 72nd year of the 20th century, and the 3rd year of the 1970s decade.
Within the context of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) it was the longest year ever, as two leap seconds were added during this 366-day year, an event which has not since been repeated. (If its start and end are defined using mean solar time [the legal time scale], its duration was 31622401.141 seconds of Terrestrial Time (or Ephemeris Time), which is slightly shorter than 1908).
"Moving on from 1972 ain't an easy task," he said
Says he's been sober since she left him for dead
And the old man takes a swig of his non-alcoholic beer
And the tired man proudly takes a drag
It's been nearly 28 years
And it still blows me away how easily time is wasted
And it still blows me away how easily we're kept wounded
Anger is so real
"Didn't mean to say the things I told you," I said
Your interpretation was in your head
I guess you could chock it up to a life experience
Go ahead and live your life while it's full of bitterness
And it still blows me away how easily time is wasted
And it still blows me away how easily we're kept wounded
Anger is so real
And it still blows me away how easily time is wasted
And it still blows me away how easily we're kept wounded
