Well my back went out late last year
And it may go out again I fear
I live with a constant dread
Sometimes I just wish I were dead
The pain it runs down my thigh
My screams sound like a hue and cry
Take Gabapentin and Oxycodone
Which puts me in the Twilight Zone
And I gotta wonder
When will I ever be whole again?
Here's what happens when you turn six-o
Get aches and pains like you don't know
Pick up a chair and you feel a twinge
Your arms and legs are like a squeaky hinge
You feel a lump under your armpit
And all of your clothes well they just don't fit
Get a charlie horse in your foot
And your old heart's about to go kaput
No none of us are alone in this
One way or other we face the abyss
The bum, the cabbie and the millionaire
Hitler and Ghandi and good ol' Voltaire
One thing's for sure we all grow frail
The electric charge comes off our third rail
And if you fight it then you are a fool
Ain't it a bitch how life is so cruel
