"60 Is The New 18"

Got titanium hips 300 Elvis plugs
Got sex, sleep, pump and wake up drugs
Got a purple Porsche, young girls in my phone
Man I never knew I could feel this alone

Yoga, latte's and facial scrubs
Got STDs from group hot tubs
I disgust myself so I pill and drink
The world's so nuts I'm afraid to think

60 is the new 18
60 is the new 18
How can I keep my soul clean
When 60 is the new 18

Me and my mates pull a 6 to 5
Play blues in a bar band to feel alive
We play for our souls, we don't get paid
Prevents suicide, sometime we get laid

The kids and the wife we don't talk no more
At 60 you're supposed to know the score
I'm lost and laughing, frightened blue
Breaking out in pimples 'cause I ain't got a clue

60 is the new 18
60 is the new 18
Why is our world so obscene
When 60 is the new 18

I'm a cynic severe, time to call it quits
Step off my pathetic crucifix
Atone what I can, earn some self respect
In a world in love with escape and neglect

60 is the new 18
60 is the new 18
Help me Lord get my soul clean
When 60 is the new 18
60 is the new 18
Help me Lord get my soul clean
60 is the new 18
