Everybody Takes a Pill
(Everybody Plays the Fool - Main Ingredient)
Okay, so your heart is broken
You sit around mopin'
Cryin' and cryin'
You say you even might be dyin'?
Well, before you do anything rash, dig this
Everybody takes a pill sometime
There's no exception to the drill
Listen, baby, it may be medical ‘cause you’re ill
I ain't lyin', everybody takes a pill....
Repeat as needed . . .
I Forgot You Babe
(I Got You Babe - Sonny & Cher)
They say we're old and we don't know
who has the keys or where we were going to go
Well I don't know if all that's true
'Cause you got me, and baby I got you
Babe
Have the keys, babe?
’fraid I don’t, babe.
They say our love is past its prime
Our brains are dim, we’re running out of time
I guess that's so, but we have a plot
At least I'm sure that’s one of the things we got
Babe
Who are you, babe?
What’s my name, babe?
I got a retirement IRA
I got a year of vacation days
And when I forget, you remind me
And when it’s you, you're always around
Don't let them say our hair's too gray
'Cause I don't care, there’s a salon I can pay
Then put your little hand in mine
Screw the pills, let’s open a bottle of wine.
Babe
Cheers to you babe
Here’s to you, babe.
Because Our Jobs (belong to boomers)
(Because the Night - Patti Smith Group)
Take me now, even old as I am
Listen close, try and understand
Budgets and projects are the fire I breathe
Launch the campaigns this company needs
Come on now try and understand
The way you feel when my clients expand
Take my word, you need me more than ever
They can't fire us now
Can't fire us now, can't fire us now
Because the work belongs to boomers
Because the job belongs to us
Because the work belongs to boomers
Because the job belongs to us
Ain’t No Homecare Available Enough
(Ain't No Mountain High Enough - Marvin Gaye)
Listen mama, ain't no medication high
Ain't no co-pay low, ain't no home care cheap enough daddy
If you need help call me, no matter where you are
No matter how long don't worry
I’ll give up my life and be there in a hurry
You don't have to worry
'Cause mama, there ain't no medication high enough
Ain't no co-pay low enough
Ain't no home care cheap enough
To keep me from housing my parents
Oh no, insurance
No help, no benefits
And winters’ cold is freezing,
'Cause they are my job
If they’re ever in trouble
It’s me on the double
Just send for me, oh boy
My job is their care
Way down in my heart
Although we are rooms apart
If you ever need a helping hand
I'll be there on the double
Just as fast as I can
I Feel My Knees Shake
(I Feel the Earth Move – Carole King)
I feel my knees shake under my feet
I feel my ass tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
And now I’m on the ground…
Ooh, baby, when I see that ice
Sparkly as my Chardonnay
Oh, darling, I can't stand up
When it knocks me down that way
Ooh, winter, when you're near me
And you threaten to break my hips
I know that my balance
Is something I just can't risk
I just got to move south, now
I feel my knees shake under my feet
I feel my ass tumbling down, a-tumbling down
Pack up the white Sonata
Down to Sarasota
I ‘m now hot and not cold
All over, all over, all over, all over
I felt my knees shake under my feet
I felt my ass tumbling down, a-tumbling down . . .
