Back in 19 and 35 when a job was something you bragged about
The kids nowadays they don't seem to understand.
And we all pulled together to lend a helping hand
'cause the man asleep in the street could be your best friend.
So now why can't I just get old
And stay warm inside out of the cold?
The children have all grown they got problems all their own.
Why Can't I Just Get Old?
Well I've seen a lot I'd rather forget
Men getting' killed by the bayonet
And the shame that you feel when you know it's your fault.
My time is limited this I know 'cause I was born a long time ago
And I can't be for sure what it's all been for.
I ain't the man I used to be when I look in the mirror
It's plain to see that I'm not a man of 18 anymore.
I never thought that I'd live to be the ripe old age of 83
But it just goes to show you never know.
