Sad Old Life

Kids sat smoking by the cinema doors Too young to drink, Too old to stay indoors Complaining about their mum and dads giving them chores It’s a hard old fucking life A man on the telly leaves a comical pause Telling some jokes about mother in laws Everybody laughs, Everybody applaudes Everybody apart from his wife Cause nothing ever changes but everything will Just a little older A little less time to kill You run your whole life To be standing still Girls taking pictures of themselves online They stick ’em up on every social media site To prove themselves they’ve had the time of their lives It’s a sad old fucking world Alpha males chase tails round beauty queens Like Japanese around a karaoke machine We've all got tattoos but we don’t know what they mean It’s a sad old fucking life Cause nothing ever changes nothing ever will We spend our whole life running But we're standing still Just a little older A little less time to kill We fly kites out In electrical storms We're burning all our fingers Just to keep our hands warm We've been dying Since the day we were born
