I may be getting old but Im far from out of angst
because the problems that I face on the day to day dont go away.
Life it aint so civilized when it comes down to survive
and Ive had the ones that I thought as family push me to the side.
Im still in debt I cant pay my rent, my teeth are rotting in my head.
I may be getting old, but it aint over yet.
I got so much left to say, I cant believe Im here again
right back where I started from with an ego left to mend.
We started out as friends and in the end I hope to be
but the problems that you hope to fix wont go away with me.
Im uninsured Im overdrawn Im as broke as one can get.
I may be getting old, but it aint over yet.
What happens when the dreams of fame and fortune dont come true.
And work replaces everything in life you live to do.
When the romance is gone,
the road gets long and the numbers are all youve got
and the hour that you spent on stage doesnt add up to what you thought.
So you can fill my shoes with a fresh new face
you can talk all the shit you want,
but you cant replace my dignity or the feelings in my heart.
Life can be unfair sometimes its a fact Ive had to accept.
But in everything that Ive given up Ive gained my self respect.
