"Too Old" lyrics

"Too Old"

Way too old
Way too old

From your gilded glass house you're hurling rocks
You wanna see me shamed, displayed in stocks
What you fail to see, you don't scare me a bit
'Cause I'm too old for this shit

Way too old

It's just a little white lie from a little white guy
And it never really made much sense
Put a little more time into meter and rhyme
Put the Eggman on that fence

And Humpty's gonna fall
Fall down
Humpty's gonna fall
Break your crown

Keep your head on a swivel, watch what you say
The devil you don't know wants to see you pay
What was funny one time is a crime today
And it never goes away

This life can be really weird for me
For my children and my wife
Sticks and stones used to break my bones
But now words can end my life

'Cause everything's a bomb
Everything's a bomb

There's no end in sight as we fight for right
Till we fill up all the jails
When you're swinging your hammer, slinging your grammar
Everybody looks like nails

The hammer's gonna fall
Your hammer's gonna fall

From your gilded glass house you're hurling rocks
You wanna see me shamed, displayed in stocks
What you fail to see, you don't scare me a bit
'Cause I'm too old for this shit

Way too old
Way too old for this shit
Way too old
