Story behind the song
I like my life, but there are people out there who can ruin it for all of us if they keep playing their geo-political games.
Lyrics
Seeing my life pass by my eyes It’s been pretty good so far I had a lot of fun as a kid and teen And as a middle aged man it’s still smelling sweet And I don’t plan on slowing down just yet I’m convinced that Old Rust never sleeps And I’ve taken the brunt of life by it’s horns And I’m not gonna let it go any time… ‘til I die I’m not giving up ‘til I die I’m having too much fun, oh yeah! I’ve seen a lot of things go wrong When the politics of a nation’s controlled by the people Who just don’t give a crap about any thing And are only in it for their selfish schemes Talk about war is the game that is played And it’s only a matter of time before it blows in our face They’re playing a dangerous game The stakes are much too high for me CHORUS This is the message to the people who have Control of Man’s destinies in their hands I hope you make decisions that work for the best But don’t forget to plan for the worse Because it’s gonna get worse It’s getting worse There’s a climate for war but there’s no cause for peace Generations are born with a penchant to feed On the hate that’s promoted by monsters that bend The truth into lies for their own evil ends The wars that they wage are affecting us all And they have the intention of bringing this world to the brink They’re playing a dangerous game The stakes are much too high for all CHORUS This is the message to the people who have Control of Man’s destinies in their hands I hope you make decisions that work for the best But don’t forget to plan for the worse Because it’s gonna get worse It’s getting worse
