The Sun beats down on my back
But I shiver from the cold
Small in the sea at the track
Of people far younger; I’m old
I would rather be out the front
With the protestors and signs
But it would be insulting, an affront
If the ticket paid for I declined
So I drink too much and run away
To smoke away from the crowd
Of wealth and youth led astray
By bets, in debts they drown
The Sun beats down on my back
But I shiver from the cold
Small in the sea at the track
Of people far younger; I’m old

But it would be insulting, an affront
If the ticket paid for I declined
So I drink too much and run away
To smoke away from the crowd
Of wealth and youth led astray
