Dan Bull - Just Die Already lyrics

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 fuck about

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

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

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

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

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

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)

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
