lyrics

You’re getting older.
You’re getting older.
The doors are getting higher.
The knobs are getting tighter.
You accept there’re many things that you
won’t get to see.
Your whole world is shrinking with you,
becoming trivial like you.
There’s a brand new world, and you are
not a part of it.

But one pillar is always standing.
One story is neverending.
Tis’ the most eternal maxim,
more than death and more than taxes.
One pillar is always standing.
One story's neverending.
Tis’ the most eternal maxim,
more than death and more than taxes.

That they’re never ever gonna
stop the tedious ramblings.
Of these tedious ramblings, we will
never see the end.
That they’re never ever gonna
stop the tedious ramblings.
Of these tedious ramblings, we will
never see the end.

Boys will call each other names,
increasingly more nasty.
And gossipy girls will,
in fact,
complain [that] others are talking
behind their backs.
And they’re never ever gonna stop.

Parents will be strict about their
children’s eating habits.
And say —You will eat all your greens.
Then, smoke a cigar
with their pork rinds and beer.
And they’re never ever gonna stop.

And wives will complain
that they’re being unattended,
and over-protected,
and skinny, and fat,
and pregnant, and not.
And husbands?
Every thing they ask for,
they’ll never give up.
And they’re never ever gonna stop.

The bosses will talk like, in
fact, they are superior.
The haves will exploit the have
nots, they cry,
then may become rich
and exploit everyone.
And they’re never ever gonna stop.

And people will always complain of their
leaders’ corruption,
while they cut in line, run the red lights,
litter the street, pirate online,
make up a lawsuit, don’t participate in the process
of democracy,
and cheat on their taxes.

And they’re never ever gonna
stop the tedious ramblings.
Of these tedious ramblings,
we will never see the end.

You’re getting
older.
I'm getting
older,
And of these tedious ramblings,
I will never ever see
the end.
