Getting Older

[Verse 1] Hey, you see the seasons as they're sliding by You breathe the air and hold it deep inside In hopes you can slow things down Hey, each second passing is a minute late Every new moment just a cause to wait For the next one, and the next one, to roll in [Pre-Chorus 1] I'm not sure that we were put on this earth With any other purpose beyond our own worth And you can say that I'm naïve, that I'm so immature [Chorus] But I'm still getting older and getting older all the time Getting older all the time Getting older all the time [Verse 2] Hey, each morning slips in like a hammer's swing To slowly drip us into useless things Like you know you were meant for one purpose (Ooh) Hey, you think the years that pass you're counting down Waiting to drag us all back into the ground That's a deadline I won't argue around [Pre-Chorus 2] I'm not convinced that we're only alive Just for some remnants of ourselves to survive And you can say I'm a man, so I've got plenty of time [Chorus] But I'm still getting older and getting older I'm getting older, and older, and older I'm getting older and getting older all the time Getting older all the time Getting older all the time [Bridge] There's garbage the ocean and blood in the rain And the air we breathe is car exhaust, it seeps in our veins And there's too many people and not enough space So what's the point of dumping some poor kid in his place? We could just live on the beach, and spend the rest of our days Watching the sunset, grow lines on our face Instead of furthering destruction of a sick human race We could do what we wanna do, and at our own pace [Chorus] While we're getting older, and older, and older We're getting older, and older, and older We're getting older and getting older all the time Getting older all the time Getting older all the time Getting older all the time
