Lyrics

My fingers are giving me
constant trouble when I'm fishing for my meds
I can't get a grip, my hand's shaking
Oh, shit! I just spilled them on my bed

It hurts getting up every morning
It hurts even more laying down for the night
It's just my body giving me a warning
Better get used to it

What was I saying? I lost my train of thought
I often end up forgetting where I am
I have a TV, I stare all day
I don't think I even care that it's not on

It hurts getting up every morning
It hurts even more laying down for the night
It's just my body giving me a warning
Better get used to it

I'm hanging by a thread with no solution
Oh, well, I guess I'll just die
I need a new revolution
Where getting old isn't a crime

We've got 60 million elderly people here
And now you can add me to that list
There's just one thing that I need to know
Which one of you is gonna help me wipe my ass?

Fixed income, that's my reality
Hope you are a big fan of rice and beans
I can't drive a car, gotta take the bus
I apologize for my sudden screams

It hurts getting up every morning
It hurts even more laying down for the night
It's just my body giving me a warning
Better get used to it

Oxygen, carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen
You can also add some calcium, too
In the end that's all I'm worth
A bag of water and some minerals

I'm hanging by a thread with no solution
Oh, well, I guess I'll just die
I need a new revolution
Where getting old isn't a crime

We've got 60 million elderly people here
And now you can add me to that list
There's just one thing that I need to know
Which one of you is gonna help me wipe my ass?

I like the contrast between the implied frailty of the lyrics and the power of the synth vocal.

Interesting lyrical theme. Definitely not typical! The synth vocals sound surprisingly good. Props for choosing to not rhyme most of the time.
