lyrics

I am old now
Yeah that much is certain
And I don’t like it no not one bit
Don’t like the way kids talk
When they talk in up-speak
Just sounds to me like so much shit
Don’t like the developers
And the fat construction workers
Who have all invaded my neighborhood
And as for those rich girls from China
Who dress up like cute dolls
They seem to me to be up to no good

That’s it for me, see you 'round later
It’s the end of my day
My time is up, my job is done
I’m one less castaway
Bye bye, bye bye

One day I woke up
And the world around me changed
None of its values reflected mine
People spend their days now
Staring at their fucking phones
As if they have a window into something divine
I walk these streets lost and lonely
I am not seen and I am not heard
What I believe and what I care about
At best it seems a little absurd

I am nothing now
Don't need you to remind me
I'm not who I was thirty years ago
Thirty years ago
I was young and vital
But now I am a shadow
This all happened
In the blink of an eye
And I can't believe I'm almost done
If you think it's not gonna happen to you
You're fooling yourself son
