I understand you
   you've got a problem
   now understand me
   it's your problem not mine
   to find a reason, don't ask me
   don't ask (anyone) for a reason to live your life
   shake your head, left and right
   like the old man who shows up here every night
   what does he hear in this kind of music?
   why don't you ask him?
   find out what you need to know
   all ages show
   you haven't lived all there is to live
   how old is old?
   how old is old?
   all ages show
   I get the feeling that I've heard all this before
   I spoke your words, I felt your feelings
   but when I reached a dead end, I knew there was more
   I guess I'm just too young to see it
   but I've shorn* up some people
   a little bit older
   and they say the problems keep coming
   but reasons to keep on trying keep growing
   and they grow and they grow and they grow
   all ages show
