[Verse 1]

Help the aged

One time, they were just like you

Drinking, smoking cigs, and sniffing glue

Help the aged

Don't just put them in a home

Can't have much fun in there all on their own

[Pre-Chorus]

Give a hand, if you can

Try and help them to unwind

Give them hope and give them comfort

'Cause they're running out of time

[Chorus]

In the meantime, we try

Try to forget that nothing lasts forever

No big deal, so give us all a feel

Funny how it all falls away

When did you first realise

Oh, it's time you took an older lover, baby?

Teach you stuff, although he's looking rough

Funny how it all falls away

[Verse 2]

Help the aged

'Cause one day you'll be older too

You might need someone who can pull you through

And if you look very hard

Behind those lines upon their face

You may see where you are headed

And it's such a lonely place

[Chorus]

Oh, in the meantime, we try

Try to forget that nothing lasts forever

No big deal, so give us all a feel

Funny how it all falls away

When did you first realise

It's time you took an older lover, baby?

Teach you stuff, although he's looking rough

Funny how it all falls away

[Bridge]

You can dye your hair, but it's the one thing you can't change

Can't run away from yourself

Yourself, your-se-se-se-se-se-se-se-se-se-se-self

[Chorus]

In the meantime, we try

Try to forget that nothing lasts forever

No big deal, so give us all a feel

Funny how it all falls away

When did you first realise

It's time you took an older lover, baby?

Teach you stuff, although he's looking rough

Funny how it all falls away

[Outro]

Oh, it's funny how it all falls away

Funny how it all falls away

Oh, it's funny how it all, it all falls away

So help the aged
