Help the aged
One time they were just like you
Drinking, smoking cigs and sniffing glue
Help the aged
Don't just put them in a home
Can't have much fun in there
All on their own
Give a hand, if you can
Try and help them to unwind
Give them hope and give them comfort
'Cos they're running out oftime
In the meantime we try
Try to forget that nothing lasts forever
No big deal so give us all a feel
Funny how it all falls away
When did you first realise?
It's time you took an older lover baby
Teach you stuff although he's looking rough
Funny how it all falls away
Help the aged
'Cos one day you'll be older too
You might need someone
Who can pull you through
And if you look very hard
Behind the lines upon their face
You may see where you are headed
And it's such a lonelyplace
You can dye your hair, but
It's the one thing you can't change
Can't run away from yourself
Funny how it all falls away
So help the aged
