What’s The Deal?

Hey, what's the matter with kids these days?
They just never seem to do what I say
I tell 'em: Don't snort coke
I tell 'em: Please, don't smoke
But it's clear they're gonna learn it their way

Hey, what's the deal, have I lost my mind?
I can't seem to recall the times
They must've passed me by like a long train ride
When I was heading through the country again

Oh, and it's hard growing old
When all of your friends start turning cold

Plug me in, don't send me up to thе sky
Because I am not ready to diе
I can't remember your name
But baby just the same
It was kind of you to drop on by

Hey, what's the deal, have I lost my mind?
I can't seem to recall the times
They must've passed me by like a long train ride
When I was heading through the country again

Oh, and it's hard growing old
When all of your friends start turning cold
Oh, man, sure looks tough, now everything is hurting
And every sign of life feels like a burden

Okay, come on, come on, alright

You won't see those headlights coming
When you're taking your hand off of the wheel
I know that peace has always been something
You never thought you'd get to feel

But I gotta tell you, I got this really funny feeling
When I see the curtain closing over your head
It makes me wanna die
