lyrics

Towers of steel punch holes through skies of gray
On the streets below the masses fight tooth and nail
Stamp hand, trample foot – anything for an inch
Bankers smoke and drink on the ledges
They’re always cheering on the rubes

Tired of running the race
When we can’t even keep up the pace
Old boy – never get ahead that way
Old boy, old boy

In this humdrum age the scholars are all frauds
Screaming prophecy from the omnipresent screen
Proletariat or pris’ner, you tell me
Huddled in a cell, staring at the wall
They’re always saying
Don’t touch that dial, you’re gonna want some more

New words spew from a fresh face
But he acts like the guy he replaced
Old boy – hope’s just a thing they say
Old boy, old boy

It’s time for the next batch to make its play
Open up your eyes and ears to what they say
So let’s pumped, let’s get psyched
We’re gonna burn this whole world down
And rebuild it better
Oh shit – the window’s closed
Thank you all for giving your all

Old words spew from that fresh face
Yeah, he’s just like the guy he replaced
Old boy – ain’t such a thing as change
Old boy, old boy
