"The Older I Get" lyrics
The older I get I can't understand it
Can they really not find a cure for cancer
Or do they already have an answer
But they see dollar signs
In a child's eyes
The older I get I can't tell the difference
Tween super hero's and super villains
Guess one side traded all their capes in
And now the bad guys
Wear a suit and tie
Just make it make sense
Do the good guys ever win?
They say you'll get it when you're older
But I just understand it less
How's the world so god damn ugly
The older that I get
It's like it just keeps gettin' colder
And it's fuckin' with my head
I woulda stayed young if I'd known
This was the older
The older that I'd get
The older I get I hear "it's just business"
When these crooked politicans
Line the pockets of their rich friends
Knowin' you and I
Gotta pay the price
The older I get I wish that Christians
Tried to be a little more like Jesus
But I guess all those poor and sick kids
Just can't buy that house of white
Just make it make sense
Do the good guys ever win?
They say you'll get it when you're older
But I just understand it less
How's the world so god damn ugly
The older that I get
It's like it just keeps gettin' colder
And it's fuckin' with my head
I woulda stayed young if I'd known
This was the older
The older that I'd get
Raise your right hand, plead the 5th
Tryna cover up names on a list
Lie and say that it doesn't exist
What the fuck kinda place am I in?
Work 2 jobs try to make rent
Heaven help ya if you've got brown skin
Watch em starve on Gaza Strip
How the fuck is this the older I get?
They say you'll get it when you're older
But I just understand it less
How's the world so god damn ugly
The older that I get
It's like it just keeps gettin' colder
And it's fuckin' with my head
I woulda stayed young if I'd known
This was the older
The older that I'd get
Can they really not find a cure for cancer
Or do they already have an answer
But they see dollar signs
In a child's eyes
The older I get I can't tell the difference
Tween super hero's and super villains
Guess one side traded all their capes in
And now the bad guys
Wear a suit and tie
Just make it make sense
Do the good guys ever win?
They say you'll get it when you're older
But I just understand it less
How's the world so god damn ugly
The older that I get
It's like it just keeps gettin' colder
And it's fuckin' with my head
I woulda stayed young if I'd known
This was the older
The older that I'd get
The older I get I hear "it's just business"
When these crooked politicans
Line the pockets of their rich friends
Knowin' you and I
Gotta pay the price
The older I get I wish that Christians
Tried to be a little more like Jesus
But I guess all those poor and sick kids
Just can't buy that house of white
Just make it make sense
Do the good guys ever win?
They say you'll get it when you're older
But I just understand it less
How's the world so god damn ugly
The older that I get
It's like it just keeps gettin' colder
And it's fuckin' with my head
I woulda stayed young if I'd known
This was the older
The older that I'd get
Raise your right hand, plead the 5th

And it's fuckin' with my head
I woulda stayed young if I'd known
This was the older
The older that I'd get
