LYRICS GAME

When I'm old I'll be old

Nobody will have to come bust my b*lls anymore

What I'll have done I'll have done

I'll just want to sit and remember the good days

Many I know will be dead

Buried under meters of ingratitude

I'll stay old remembering

That I never thanked enough

Who handed me a rhyming couplet

Who made me feel good for a night

Who told me a nice story

Even if it wasn't true

When I'm old I'll be old

Of those nobody wants around

Because he's seen everything and done everything

And can't stand those whose turn is now

They'll respect me like you respect the time

That separates study from the exam

I hope to be satisfied with my days

Those still hungry will avoid my gaze

At night I'll listen lying down

To the relentless drip of a sink

That marks time like a killer

Like a killer

And then maybe on a Saturday in May

I'll ask a star for a ride

And to all the bullies I'll say again

With me you'll never win

And then on a Sunday morning

Still on my skin your perfume

To all the bullies I'll say loud

With me you'll never win

When I'm old I'll be old

Of inevitable mistakes I'll have made two hundred

And for the ones I made on purpose

I surely won't stand there offering compensation

If I'm not able when it's time

I feel like doing it now that I'm aware

Before hardness separates us

I thank everybody endlessly

When I'm old, period, that's it

The life that's ending will show its a*s

With my soldier's pension

All my future will have been used up

I'll call whoever I want an idiot

I'll say all the books are useless

And that a thousand centuries of history

Aren't worth a single second truly lived

With whoever fought to stay alive

With whoever helped me while I got by

With whoever taught me something that

Shines inside me

And then maybe on a Saturday in May

I'll ask a star for a ride

And to all the bullies I'll say again

With me you'll never win

And then on a Sunday morning

Still on my skin your perfume

To all the bullies I'll say loud

With me you'll never win
