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
