about

Obviously there are lots of the "boomer" generation trying to do the right thing, don't @ me, but damn near every oligarch in this country is of that same generation.

lyrics

We're growing old together
and look how far we've come
and everything we have
it doesn't matter if it all goes bad
because we're not going to be around to see it through

We're growing old together
like simple grains of sand
how they've washed away
but that's a problem for another day
Because there wont really be a change for me and you

But that's not the way the world works
we should be happy with the things we have
and still be willing to give something back
we need to choose which side we will be on 'cause people still need to live here when we're gone

We're growing old together
how happy does it feel
to see our life's work
buried with us when we're in the dirt
and we could sooner drive
a camel through a needles eye
than be welcomed in the halls of heaven

but that's not the way the world works
we should be happy with the things we have
and still be willing to give something back
we need to choose the side we will be on 'cause people still need to live here when we're gone

We're growing old together
(But still have time to change)
we're growing old together....
