Dan Bull - Just Die Already lyrics

Verse 1] So I might open with a real light joke, right? Real life is a real life rougelike There’s no F Five key to rewind what we don’t like So we spend most our time just hoping that we won’t die So when I look around and see someone that’s elderly (yeah) I tell myself they’re either winning life or found a cheat And yet they’re treated as some selfish freaks who’ve failed to leave Who’ve somehow outstayed their welcome with the power to breathe Well, I’ve come around to tell them though I doubt it’s seldom seen That their very presence is a present I’m proud to receive This is for the OG’s, old geezers, fogeys Bolted up in the old folks’ home with no keys It must be lonely up atop the holy escalator But eventually we’re each the next to leave so check you later Being senior seems to me between being tuckered out And realising there’s so much to not give a fu*k about [Chorus] It’s been a long time, been a long time, been a long Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time It’s been a long time, been a long time, been a long Lonely, lonely, lonely, such a lonely time [Verse 2] To the church-going folk, I hope you all pray for me Because I’ve no hope of growing old gracefully Life’s a fatal disease so I’m just waiting to see What exciting places it might be taking me I’m going to be an OAP that’s OP Hope to be as old as Gandalf and Obi-Wan Kenobi Living is so me, I’m going to get enough Although I won’t reach the one hundred and twenty-seven club Prejudice putting needless junk between us as the Devil does The way we treat them is the treatment that’s ahead of us Old people are previously youngsters who just levelled up Being senior should be seen as something just incredible [Chorus] It’s been a long time, been a long time, been a long Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time It’s been a long time, been a long time, been a long Lonely, lonely, lonely, such a lonely time It’s been a long time, been a long time, been a long Staying young ’til I become an ancient one’s my one desire Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time It’s been a long time, been a long time, been a long If you can’t feel the bass turn up your hearing aid and pump it higher Lonely, lonely, lonely, such a lonely time [Verse 3] What you have to do is hang on through until the chumps retire Then wack them in the trash, but dude, that attitude’s a dumpster fire Passing youth’s a fact that you and I will come to cry at And grapple with the facts that we refused confronting prior There’s an infinite abyss in front of us but I am Not the really kind of guy to just give and come so quietly Succumb to higher creature comforts and just lie in piece ‘Cause once I die, at least I’d like to be thunk of in high esteem Nah, never mind, being in the freakin’ riot police I’ll speed at an entire fleet while screaming in the driver’s seat ‘Til I’m a bleeding pile of meat, the kind that lions eat Now darling, be a sweet and bring my slippers, I’ve got tired feet [Chorus] It’s been a long time, been a long time, been a long Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time It’s been a long time, been a long time, been a long Lonely, lonely, lonely, such a lonely time [Verse 4] Just because there’s nothing left to prove Doesn’t mean there’s nothing left to do But as seasons pass the fee increases for your season pass ‘Til you’re a seasoned passenger of centuries who sees ’em pass Put to pasture, don’t repeat the past, you need some greener grass They plan to treat you as a weed in fields that need reseeding fast I see you creeping of your peak productive beaten path ‘Til even keeping up with previous achievements seems to drag I don’t believe that each of us can be surpassing Pete & Bas I mean it’s been an eon since you’ve even had a decent shag Another day, they might discover me in glacial ice Or maybe I’ll be vaporised to nada but a ray of light Descendents won’t remember whether I’ve blue, gray or hazel eyes But it’s irrelevant, man, it’s whatever fate decides So I’ll just say this, mate, whatever may arise I’ll stay alive ’til the day I die (huh) [Chorus] It’s been a long time, been a long time, been a long Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time It’s been a long time, been a long time, been a long Lonely, lonely, lonely, such a lonely time It’s been a long time, been a long time, been a long Staying young ’til I become an ancient one’s my one desire Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time It’s been a long time, been a long time, been a long If you can’t feel the bass turn up your hearing aid and pump it higher Lonely, lonely, lonely, such a lonely time
