Get Old

Composer: Sam Gaffney

Want to be an astronaut, walk the moon, first to Mars, go.
Maybe be a movie star, James Bond in his gadget car, no?
Wanna live… your dreams,
Then you find it ain’t as easy… as it seemed.

CHORUS:
Get old, and watch
Your dreams go by
Again…
And again.

You sit back and watch the screen
As the years steal by.
Candles on your birthday cake’s
All you can show for your time.

Wanna run for president,
Carve your face on monuments, yes?
Hero in your favourite team,
Kicking goals, you can be best.

So you try…
How you try.
Then give up, find a dead-end job,
And slave to pay the bills till you die.
Oh, my.

Get old, and watch
Your dreams go by
Again…
And again.

You sit back and watch the screen
As the years steal by.
Wondering: when, when, when
When the pain ends… my friend?

(CHORUS)
