Generation Old

We’re not getting any younger

This is not a character from a famous cartoon, or at least ChatGPT doesn’t think so.

Background

I wanted to try my hand at making a punk song because a lot of our music up until now hasn’t been all that heavy and has focused largely on funk, soul, jazz and other genres that we love. I’m also a life-long punk/metal fan, but have never really ventured into writing anything in those genres. This is a first attempt and it was just enough “not bad” that we’re including it.

Lyrics

When did we get so fuckin old

we used to be the ones breakin' the mold

but world keeps turning, passin us by

when we did get so fucking old?

Generation Old doesn't get me high

You gotta understand this ain't about you

it ain't about me or the way it's gonna be

every generation sits at the peak

and every generation ain't gonna always speak

You'll never understand we're much the same

We both wanted the world to be better than it is

And despite my best effort to never grow up

every generation does and that's the rub

There's not a lot more to fucking say

They say while sun's out ya gotta make hay

But those assholes didn't know a thing that I know

The best things in life happen oh so slow
