He’s looking old
Still happy to live
To fight another day
To play one more game
Tell a stupid joke
A story from before
One colour TV
Was a luxury
And smoking was so cool
It’s an age old story
Circles in circles
Running us blind
History behind
Future is fearful
Our children are wilful
Taking a stand
To do things right
Not afraid of the fight
not afraid of the flight
Where are the words
Of comfort now, come on.
It’s not too hard to show
When you never learned how
It’s not a way for any man to grow
There’s always sadness
And seriousness
So where’s the fun?
No laughter or happiness
Or comedy of errors
Haven’t you heard
My daddy’s a nerd
He thinks he’s so cool
Like a teenage fool
He brings me to school
To make sure I go
I walk right through
