Lyrics
Younger Than Me © Paul J Rogers 2023
Every switch is turned off
From the bathroom to the stove
While lazy kids eat Uber eats
Can’t get up off the couch
Younger, younger than me
I sold my car and I walk around
Every corner knows my name
Every letterbox, sees the kids come home
I’m walking from the train
Younger, younger than me
The weekend has gone
And I just stayed home
No footprint to be found
They built a road for a billion cars
Then banned me from my farm
Whoa, ohh, oh
Whoa, ohh, oh
Tensions crossed Atlantic
Bombs are raining from the sky
The war it passes quickly
But for years so many die
Younger, younger than me
They took away his money
‘Cause he dared to speak the wrong
Now the line between the corporate
And government has gone
Younger, younger than me
The weekend has gone
And I just stayed home
No footprint to be found
They built a road for a billion cars
Then banned me from my farm
Whoa, ohh, oh
Whoa, ohh, oh
There’s tensions in the East
In the West and on the streets
There’s tensions in the East
In the West and on the streets
