about

This song is based on a comment I remember hearing in college, “you'll get more conservative when you get older” and the statistics that older demographics are often more conservative.

lyrics

I didn't get more conservative as I got older
you just got greedier as you got richer

but those of us, who are, as we get older
less well-off than our parents, we get more radical, bolder
we watch our friends die from lack of insulin
and pay our rent to those who make more in a day than we'll ever see

I didn't get more conservative as I got older
you just got greedier as you got richer

the income disparity is growing by the day
and we're saddled with loans we can never pay
health insurance makes rich people live longer
but greed makes their morality and ethic much wronger

I didn't get more conservative as I got older
you just got greedier as you got richer
