lyrics

When you’ve heard it all before there’s not much left to say
Words that once inspired you now sound like a cliche
The fabric of society feels threadbare frayed and torn
The emperor stands naked as the day that he was born

Constantly confused and persistently perplexed
You feel too old for this world but too young for the next

The people that you work with have all grown very young
They speak a weird language that sounds like a foreign tongue
The things they find exciting, strike you as a bore
You're sure that given half a chance they’d show you out the door

You get no help from
Lessons that were taught to you
In this brave new world
You’re not sure what you ought to do

Not so very long ago you were in your prime
Now you’re on the scrap heap, overtaken by the time
However high you climb one day you’re bound to slip and fall
It’s a fact that growing old makes monkeys of us all
