How about stealing from me when I'm old
Rip me off, take the things it took my life to get
Break my heart, f*ck my mind, when I'm old I can't fight back
Don't even think about the consequences
It could never happen to you
If my days are spent in solitude when I'm old
Feel free to ignore me, I can't afford to dream
My life that was spent with friends doing things, laughing
Is now a solitary confinement
But it could never happen to you
Is this what life was all about
Was my struggle for nothing at all
Did I make a mistake somewhere
Is there nothing left but the fall
My body is slow and bent because I'm old
But no one offers a hand to help me do the things
That in younger days were private, no one wants to know
Because after all
It could never happen to you
I've lived so much of history because I'm old
But no one's interested in my point of view
My wisdom and knowledge are ignored
My stories of life go unheard
But it could never happen to you
Is this what my life was all about
Was the struggle for nothing at all
Did I make a mistake somewhere
Is there nothing left but the fall
