Too Old To Die Young

from Slackipedia by The Slack 5

lyrics

I find it quite concerning
That this big old world keeps turning
And all of us are just swept along
I don't mind the signs of aging
Can't keep up with the times they're changing
Not got a clue what's going on

Keeping up with mortgage payments
Supermarkets and estate agents
These things just drive me up the wall
Used to want to paint the town red
Now I'm painting the front room instead
Disappointment yellow by farrow and ball

So we're passed our sell by date, missed our blaze of glory
The great all died at 27, for us it's a distant memory
The clocks are spinning fast you know
The pendulum has swung
We're too old to die young

Modern world makes us feel lethargic
Look to the past for a future classic
Internet has killed creativity
Bygone days make us feel nostalgic
Sitting 'round, feeling melancholic
Under weight of our own mortality

So we're passed our sell by date, missed our blaze of glory
The great all died at 27, for us it's a distant memory
The clocks are spinning fast you know
The pendulum has swung
We're too old to die young

So we're passed our sell by date, missed our blaze of glory
The great all died at 27, for us it's a distant memory
The clocks are spinning fast you know
Just like on Logan's Run
We're too old to die young
