Old Folks |
| I don’t know I’m born, I’m only young |
| I don’t have a choice, you know I’m only young |
| I’m getting older, I’m getting smaller |
| Everybody tells you, «you've got to walk taller» |
| You did a war, and now you’re poor |
| And like your friends, you’re gonna get it in the end |
| You’ve heard it all before, you can’t go on much more |
| It’s not like I think: |
| The old folks are losers, they can’t work computers |
| They die in December time |
| Can’t put it off, you put it on, don’t ever stop, it doesn’t last long |
| The younger folks they don’t understand |
| Back in the day, you’re gonna get it in the end |
| You’ve heard it all before, you can’t go on much more |
| It’s not like I think: |
| The old folks are losers, they can’t work computers |
| They die in December time |
| Fall down for no reason, the churches are heaving |
| The old folks they live their lives |
| The old folks are losers, they can’t work computers |
| The old folks are losers, they can’t work computers |
| The old folks are losers, they can’t work computers |
| They die in December time |
| Fall down for no reason, the churches are heaving |
| The old folks they live their lives |
| The old folks are losers, they can’t work computers |
| They die in December time |
| Fall down for no reason, the churches are heaving |
| The old folks they live their lives |
| Same as everybody |
| It’s coming back to haunt me It’s on all the time |
| Sitting in the summer |
| The days are getting longer |
| They don’t remember why |
| A cost to everybody |
| They’re always sad and lonely |
| They live their lives |
