Grumpy Grandpa's Rant

Grumpy Grandpa's Rant

You? have pared it to the bone ...

This life

Sold your home

Divorced your wife

You watch the news

It scares you to think

'Cos the more you watch

The deeper you sink

Yeah life is unfair but what the heck can you do?

You’re just a cog in a giant machine

You hold no particular view

But you hate politicians

Despise celebrities too

You got less time for lesbians and gays?

What’s up with an old-fashioned screw?

Back in the day, they had answers

To poverty, war, and greed

Now you drift off to Walmart for more of the stuff you don't need

Your working days are over?

Retirement has begun

Over in California, life was way more fun

Now the immigrant tide is turning

Blurring the red, white, and blue

You watch them crowd the Medicare lines

Stealing your place in the queue

You've given up on your broken world

But you have one solution to offer

Hand the reins to 'Ghengis Khan'

And let the fuckers suffer
