Originally did this back in 2009. Now that I'm a Certified Old Fart, it hits even harder. Remixed at home June 2024.
---------------------
You know
That the world is what has changed
They want you
To go off and die
And that can be arranged
All the bright lights are going out
And all the old madmen are gone
You're slow
They want you to step aside
You take too long
At the burger joint
You're holding up the line
All the bright lights are going out
And all the old madmen are gone
When you're old you scrape by
When you're old you go dry
When you're old
You shake your monkey fist at time
You know
You have no place in these days
You step onto
An ice floe
And you sadly sail away
All the bright lights are going out
And all the old madmen are gone
When you're old you use your blur
When you're old you lose your fur
When you're old
All the tastes don't seem as bright as they were
When you're old you scrape by
When you're old you go dry
When you're old
You shake your monkey fist at time
