It Ain’t Over Yet

I may be getting old
But I'm far from out of angst
Because the problems that I face on the day to day don't go away

Life it ain't so civilized
When it comes down to survive
And I've had the ones that I thought as family push me to the side

I'm still in debt
I can't pay my rent
My teeth are rotting in my head
I may be getting old, but it ain't over yet

I got so much left to say
I can't believe I'm here again
Right back where I started from with an ego left to mend

We started out as friends
And in the end I hope to be
But the problems that you hope to fix won't go away with me

I'm uninsured
I'm overdrawn
I'm as broke as one can get
I may be getting old, but it ain't over yet

What happens when the dreams of fame
And fortune don't come true
And work replaces everything in life you live to do

When the romance is gone
The road gets long and the numbers are all you've got
And the hour that you spent on stage doesn't add up to what you thought

So you can fill my shoes with a fresh new face
You can talk all the shit you want
But you can't replace my dignity or the feelings in my heart

Life can be unfair sometimes
It's a fact I've had to accept
But in everything that I've given up I've gained my self respect

I'm uninsured
I'm overdrawn
I'm as broke as one can get
I may be getting old, but it ain't over yet
