Inside of Age
The old man said
We get cynical with age
Don’t let it get you
A bird is in the cage
We get cynical with age
Accept it gracefully
A bird is in the cage
Singing faithfully
Accept it gracefully
Behind wire veins?
Singing faithfully
Outside songbirds sing
Behind wire veins
It’s better not to think
Outside songbirds sing
It leads a man to drink
It’s better not to think
Don’t let it get you
It leads a man to drink
The old man said
