THE OLDER I GET THE LESS I GET IT

The right says the left are all wusses     
The left says the right is heartless 
Blue tie man says the climate's changing     
Red tie man says no, they're all lying

    CHORUS
    you can get lonely in the middle ground    
    it’s a desert that can bury your spirit
    Strip away the labels, are we so different       
    I reckon the older I get the less I get it

The doc says eat this diet and live to 90    
Next doc says no I'd never make it to 50
I read on the net buy gold and never worry  
Then my broker says you'll go broke in a hurry

REPEAT CHORUS
       
 Solo

Buy local organic, save the small farmer    
No, save your money it's not the answer
Talking head says a pipeline'll cause a spill    
but the other one just says drill baby drill
    
    REPEAT CHORUS

Outro
A wise friend told me to be like grass, I said oh please 
He said keep firm roots but let your blades sway in the breeze
