old man when is the point
to become serious
was that my last joint
before diving into business
old man they use to tell me
that i shall think about
how i expect to be
with money or without
i ask you cause you’re old and wise
is it true what they say shall i follow their advice
life means wasting time my boy
that’s all that i have learned
tomorrow will be yesterday
there’s no reason to be
all i know listen my boy
it’s easy to get burned
but if you’re wasting time my boy
you’re free
old man sometimes i fear
that i will never find
someone to be near
someone to mate my mind
can i miss the train
or will it wait for me
is it just a game
where the rule is to be
