Lyrics
Hide away boys you're no longer in favor,
People, you are no longer popular or in favor.
You're yesterdays news and no longer the flavor,
You are outdated news and not the current trend.
You're washing my mouth, now you shining my shoes,
You're doing menial tasks for me now, symbolizing a loss of status or importance.
Don't need me the paper, to read me the news.
I don't need someone else to tell me about you; I can see through your actions.
Yer old.
Emphasizes the theme of aging or becoming irrelevant.
Speak ill of my boys and I'll take you to pieces,
If you speak negatively about my friends, I will retaliate aggressively.
So come face to face if you think I don't mean it,
Challenge to confront directly if you doubt the sincerity of the speaker.
You're swanning about like you're nobody's fool,
You're pretending to be clever, but I'm not fooled.
You've shown me the place but I don't want to go,
You've shown me a place or perspective, but I don't want to follow.
Yer old.
Reiteration of the theme of aging or becoming obsolete.
So what you gonna do?
A question about the actions or decisions the person will take.
I wish you would come and tell me.
An expression of the desire for the person to communicate their intentions.
So what you gonna do?
A repetition of the question, emphasizing the uncertainty about the person's actions.
You're the problem, now you solve it,
You created the problem; now it's your responsibility to solve it.
So what you gonna do?
The speaker is the judge, and the person's opinion is being evaluated.
I'm the judge and your opinion,
A reaffirmation of the speaker's role as the judge and the importance of the person's opinion.
So what you gonna do?
Repeated questioning of the person's intended actions.
Hide away boys you're no longer in favor,
Reiteration of the idea that you are no longer favored or popular.
You're yesterdays news and no longer the flavor,
Repetition of being outdated and no longer trendy.
Yer old.
Reaffirmation of the theme of aging or becoming irrelevant.
Now hear me it was the easiest day of my life,
A statement about a particular day being exceptionally easy.
It was the easiest day of my life.
Reiteration of the ease of the mentioned day, possibly contrasting with the difficulties presented earlier.
