lyrics

The Olds

We tried asking nicely, but the answer’s always no
An acquiescing smile is the best they can do
Through no choice of our own we’re going down on this sinking ship

Boomers livin their best life at everyone else’s expense
Ignore the fire ragin beyond your white picket fence
And wars that make your friends rich are always the best defense

The need for infinite growth that their system requires
Don’t give a shit today about tomorrow’s funeral pyres
Entire nations’s populations thrown on the sacrificial altar
…and the markets have responded favorably

Cuz the olds are gonna get us all killed
Sins of the fathers visited on the boys and girls
And world war 3
Never been so easy
They’ll outlast us all from their bunkers

Don’t envy the cockroach, who lives despite it all
Reanimated tardigrades that survived the fall
Take me in the first wave baby I don’t want to see how it ends

Cuz the olds are gonna get us all killed
Sins of the fathers visited on the boys and girls
And world war 3
Never been so easy
They’ll outlast us all from their bunkers
