Guess
I thought this time of life would be different
Thought I could cruise into my golden years
But I just can't seem to put my mind at rest
Cause I don't believe my eyes,
I don't believe my ears
The willful ignorance across the nation The
screaming yahoos that rage on every station
It makes me crazy,
I'm too old for this
Folks in this country used to strive to be
better Worked to be smarter so they could understand
Now we idolize the clueless and the mean It's hip to be stupid,
just wear the right
brand I sound like a geezer,
but it's a disgrace
Try to discuss it and they'll get all in your face
It's raining morons and I'm too old for this
Too old to see the light of compassion
Too old to watch it go out of fashion
So easy just to condescend and smirk
When I know I've got to do the work
So I do what I have to do
Fancy churches preaching hate thy neighbor
Corporate lies growing louder every day
Folks too scared to know they're being taken
TV news is poison,
but we just can't turn away Too many enemies,
almost no friends
Read your history,
this is how it always ends It's sad and ugly,
and I'm too old for this
Too old to watch the men we elected Sit on
their hands when it's change we expected
So hard to keep the bigotry out of my
head So hard not to wish some people dead
I've got to keep a hold of myself
Don't want this anger,
I've got to stay clear Too much to do before I get out of here
I still believe in peace,
but I'm too old for this
Too old to be a knee-jerk reactor Too
old to let my judgment be a factor
Dallin said do not go gentle into that good night
He said rage against the dying of the light
But I don't want to fight
I'll stick with love,
beautiful thunder Someone who keeps us cool and always makes
him wonder I'll work to search out the best part of me
that I can
And maybe find some kind of better man
Then I'll do what I have to do
