AIN'T GETTIN' YOUNGER STANDIN' HERE by K. Dennis

You're predisposed to sit in repose
TV blarin' while you decompose
Moanin' over some imagined slight
Man oh man I can't take another night

I don't make the rules, I don't get a say
Got some time left before I'm on my way
For all I know I could die today

And I ain't gettin' younger standin' here
Don't need your anchors or your fears
Ain't gettin' younger standin' here
Minutes with you feel like years

You've settled into a regimen
Hours on the email flame-throwin'
Pointless battles and squandered time
There's better things to do I ain't gonna fight

I don't make the rules, I don't get a say
Got some time left before I'm on my way
For all I know I could expire today

And I ain't gettin' younger standin' here
Don't need your anchors or your fears
Ain't gettin' younger standin' here
Minutes with you feel like years

You're predisposed to sit in repose
TV blarin' while you decompose
You say I'm a loser and you've wasted your life
Then we'll both be free when I get out tonight

I don't make the rules, I don't get a say
Got some time left before I'm on my way
For all I know today's the last day

And I ain't gettin' younger standin' here
You can stuff your anchors and your fears
Ain't gettin' younger standin' here
Minutes with you feel like years
