You don't feel neither see
Still, I can't help but say, my friend
Soon a new shift will take place
And what was new and young a while back is now old
And we all gotta get younger
Your father no longer said "She's leaving home"
And set foot on the road "like a rolling stone"
Never again invited my girl
To ride in my car (craze, chewing gum and sound)
Never again have you taken to the street in a group or reunited
The finger on V, hair in the wind, flower and love power, on a placard
In the present, mind and body are different
And the past is an outfit that doesn't fit us anymore
In the present, the mind, the body is different
And the past is an outfit that doesn't fit us anymore
You don't feel neither see
Still, I must say, my friend
Soon a new shift will take place
And what was new and fresh a while back, is now old
And we all gotta get younger
Like Poe, a crazy American poet
I ask the little bird, "Blackbird, Assum Preto, what's to do?"
And "raven, never, raven, never, raven"
Assum Preto, Blackbird, answer me
It's all gone now
And "raven, never, raven, never, raven"
Assum Preto, Blackbird, answer me
The past is dead.
You don't feel neither see
Still, I must say, my friend
Soon a new shift will take place
And what was new and fresh a while back, is now old
And we all gotta get younger
And we all gotta get younger
And we all gotta get younger
