Well, gather around now, you boys and listen to the man
He says we've fought divided but united we will stand
We'll sacrifice the older ones, they're living in the past
We'll burn up their religions and we'll all be free at last
We'll put a hat upon his head and then we'll call him God
And then we'll share our health in him like peas do in a pod
This is the story of a man with a future in his head
But no one ever listens to him when he's dead
We're all getting older
The light is on and bolder
We're all getting older, decay
We'll follow him throughout the land obeying his command
We'll dance a sort of hatred that we think we understand
The children came a-running from their houses of decay
And laid the trust upon a fool who found a better way
He preach the words of wisdom with his hands and with his mouth
Then everyone believed him and then he believed himself
This is the story of a man with a future in his head
But no one ever listens to him when he's dead
We're all getting older
The light is on and bolder
We're all getting older, decay
This morning I had another talk
With the German chancellor, Herr Hitler
Here is the paper which bears
His name upon it as well as mine
We regard the agreement signed last night
As symbolic of the desire of our two peoples
Never to go to war with one another again
We're all getting older
The light is on and bolder
We're all getting older, decay
The year had come and gone and everyone began to see
Why did we follow such a fool in such a mindless way?
Let's turn our hatred to this man, we know he's just a fraud
We crucify him with the rest and find another God
How many times have you heard someone is coming here to say
That from your hell on earth that you will love until your grave
This is the story of a man with nothing in his head
And no one's gonna listen to you when you're dead
We're all getting older
The light is on and bolder
We're all getting older
We're all getting older
We're all getting older
We're all getting older
We're all getting older
We're all getting older
We're all getting older
