~This joke is growing old~

This joke is growing old / temptation to avoid being a bore

Guess you've never been told

Still it wears thin, hardly conceived from intelligence

A hierarchy I don't want a place in

Everyones traded it, hard pill to accept / In old currency

No one holds any change / Just photos from a time you'd rather still be living

Thinly on it wears, annual time to prepare / for removal season, a tree I'd rather not have roots in

Everyones traded it, hard pill to accept / In old currency

No one holds any change / Just photos from a time you'd rather still be living

Anyone can move from it / be willing to accept / in old currency

We all hold the change, even just a pocketful of where we ought to be

Nobody speaks of it, given the time to reflect - we need new money
