[Verse 1]
So I might open with a real light joke, right?
Real life is a real life rougelike
There's no F Five key to rewind what we don't like
So we spend most our time just hoping that we won't die
So when I look around and see someone that's elderly (yeah)
I tell myself they're either winning life or found a cheat
And yet they're treated as some selfish freaks who've failed to leave
Who've somehow outstayed their welcome with the power to breathe
Well, I've come around to tell them though I doubt it's seldom seen
That their very presence is a present I'm proud to receive
This is for the OG's, old geezers, fogeys
Bolted up in the old folks' home with no keys
It must be lonely up atop the holy escalator
But eventually we're each the next to leave so check you later
Being senior seems to me between being tuckered out
And realising there's so much to not give a fuck about
[Chorus]
It's been a long time, been a long time, been a long
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
It's been a long time, been a long time, been a long
Lonely, lonely, lonely, such a lonely time
[Verse 2]
To the church-going folk, I hope you all pray for me
Because I've no hope of growing old gracefully
Life's a fatal disease so I'm just waiting to see
What exciting places it might be taking me
I'm going to be an OAP that's OP
Hope to be as old as Gandalf and Obi-Wan Kenobi
Living is so me, I'm going to get enough
Although I won't reach the one hundred and twenty-seven club
Prejudice putting needless junk between us as the Devil does
The way we treat them is the treatment that's ahead of us
Old people are previously youngsters who just levelled up
Being senior should be seen as something just incredible
