Slack Haddock: Long Time Ago


Do you miss being young and bold?

I don't miss it I love getting old.

I've seen my fortunes rise,

The more I live the more I love my life.

I thank you, my dearest friend,

this is our life and death is the end.

So let's have fun, before we go,

Don't let the ignorance run the show.


Long time ago,
But now I know,
it's time to rise,
get old and wise.


Now it's time for revolution,

Do you need a reason for your compassion?

Long time ago they ran the show,

Now it's time to let it go.

Respect you and your beliefs,

but evidence is what I need.

Love you neighbour just because you can,

Not because they told you of the frying pan.

Long time ago,
But now I know,
get old and wise.
it's time to rise,

Long way to go,
But now I know,
get old and wise.
it's time to rise,
