Lyrics

I don't know I'm born, I'm only young

I lack knowledge about life; I'm still young

I don't have a choice, you know I'm only young

I don't have many options; my youth limits me

I'm getting older, I'm getting smaller

I am aging and feeling smaller or less significant

Everybody tells you, "you've got to walk taller"

People advise me to be more confident or assertive

You did a war, and now you're poor

You experienced a war and are now financially struggling

And like your friends, you're gonna get it in the end

Similar to your friends, you will face difficulties in the end


You've heard it all before

You've heard similar advice or warnings before

You can't go on much more

You can't endure much more of the current situation

It's not like I think

I don't believe

The old folks are losers

The elderly are not unsuccessful; they're not adept with computers

They can't work computers

Implying the older generation struggles with modern technology

They die in December time

Suggesting the elderly often pass away in December


Can't put it off, you put it on

You can't delay facing challenges; you have to confront them

Don't ever stop, it doesn't last long

Life is short; don't procrastinate

The younger folk, they

The younger generation

Don't understand, they

They don't comprehend

Back in the day, they

Referring to the past, suggesting a contrast with the present

You're gonna get it in the end

You will face challenges eventually


You heard it all before

You've been warned before

You can't go on much more

You can't endure much more of the current situation

Its not like I think

I don't believe

The old folks are losers

The elderly are not unsuccessful; they're not adept with computers

They can't work computers

Implying the older generation struggles with modern technology

They die in December time

Suggesting the elderly often pass away in December


Fall down for no reason

Falling without a cause

The churches are heaving

Churches are crowded or busy

The old folks, they live the life

The elderly live a fulfilling life


I'm down on the floor, I'll settle down, do what I tell ya.

Submissively accept advice and settle down

You're gonna get it in the end,

Challenges will catch up with you eventually

You're gonna get it in the end

Reiteration of the inevitability of facing challenges


The old folks are losers, they can't work computers

The elderly are not unsuccessful; they're not adept with computers

The old folks are losers, they can't work computers

-

The old folks are losers

-

They can't work computers

Implying the older generation struggles with modern technology

They die in December time

Suggesting the elderly often pass away in December


Fall down for no reason

Falling without a cause

The churches are heaving

Churches are crowded or busy

The old folks remember why

The elderly recall the purpose or meaning of life


The old folks are losers

The elderly are not unsuccessful; they're not adept with computers

They can't work computers

Implying the older generation struggles with modern technology

They die in December time

Suggesting the elderly often pass away in December
