Popping pills and shrinking heads
It's a wonder they're not dead (yet)
No resolve to get things done
The war isn't over but the battle's won by

You, old man on the news
Young man on the booze
Young man growing old
When your heart is strong
But your mind is sold

Freeing men and saving souls
Daddy's sins will take their toll
Seeing men for what they are
Never got me very far

With you, old man on the news
Young man's gonna lose
Old man on the stage
When you've kept your money
But lost your rage

You, old man on the news
Young man on the booze
Young man growing old
When your heart is strong
But your mind is sold
