lyrics

i traded all my bacon for stamina
for life-giving stamina
got fat and gave up again

gave up and gave away my banana trees
my stupid banana trees
that bore no mangoes for me

no mangoes and no true satisfaction here
can't get satisfaction here
just suffering and saturated fats

my saturated fats are my only friends
my oldest and only friends
we're all getting old

i hate to tell you but this world is gonna let you down

your children will grow up to be senators
smiling suited senators
shaking hands in some photographs

red white and blue signs on the avenues
the suburban avenues
and they'll have some children too

their children will grow up to be presidents
maybe model presidents
correcting the sins of the past

their sins will be new and improved again
we're all getting old again
we're all getting old

i hate to tell you but this world is gonna let you down
