What’s the Deal?

Hey, what's the matter with kids these days?

They just never seem to do what I say

I tell 'em, "Don't snort coke"

I tell 'em, "Please don't smoke"

But it's clear they're gonna learn it their way

Hey, what's the deal, have I lost my mind?

I can't seem to recall the times

They must've passed me by like a long train ride

When I was heading through the country again

Oh, and it's hard growing old

When all of your friends start turning cold

Plug me in, don't send me up to the sky

Because I am not ready to die

I can't remember your name

But baby just the same

It was kind of you to drop on by

Hey, what's the deal, have I lost my mind?

I can't seem to recall the times

They must've passed me by like a long train ride

When I was heading through the country again

Oh, and it's hard growing old

When all of your friends start turning cold

Oh, man, sure looks tough, now everything is hurting

And every sign of life feels like a burden

Okay, come on, come on, alright

You won't see those headlights coming

When you're taking your hand off of the wheel

I know that peace has always been something

You never thought you'd get to feel

But I gotta tell you, I got this really funny feeling

When I see the curtain closing over your head

It makes me wanna die
