Analysis of Now we are older:



Now we are older:

When we were young our bodies were fit,
Now we are older our bodies feel shit.

When we were young we were out in the street,
Now we are older we're glued to a seat.

When we were young we never worried about our waist,
Now we are older we"re on a constant chase.

When we were young we only stopped for something to eat,
Now we are older we plan our food between meals..
repeat.....

We knew when we were young we weren't that fat kid in school,
Now we are older.... unfortunately fat kids rule!

Now we are older... oh to be young again,
When we were younger being older was our main aim.....
