You've got a right to complain
But just being right
You've got a right to be angry
Ain't gonna change anything
You've got a right to complain
You want understanding
But just being right
Without saying a word
Ain't gonna change anything
You want admiration

Even though it's undeserved
You want understanding

Without saying a word
It ain't no secret
You want admiration
Time took it's toll
Even though it's undeserved
I can't believe it

We're gettin' old
It ain't no secret

Time took its toll
One of us should stand up
I can't believe it
One of us should scream
We're gettin' old
One of us should step out

And say just what he means
One of us should stand up
One of us should say
One of us should scream
Just what it is wr're fighting for
One of us should step out
But no one says nothing much
And say just what he means
Of anything no more
One of us should say

Just what it is were fighting for
We all have defenses
But no one says nothing much
And opinions to sell
Of anything no more
We all have our methods

Of defending ourselves
We all have defenses
But there's nothing as lifeless
And opinions to sell
As a tree that don't bend
We all have our methods
There's nothing as worthless
Of defending ourselves
As a fair weathered friend


But there's nothing as lifeless
It ain't no secret
As a tree that don't bend
Time took it's toll
There's nothing as worthless
I can't believe it
As a fair weathered friend
We're gettin' old

It ain't no secret
One of us should get up
Time took its toll
One of us should say
I can't believe it
One of us should get out
We're gettin' old
Of the other one's way

One of us should face up
One of us should get up
To what no one can ignore
One of us should say
But no one does nothing more
One of us should get out
Of anything no more
Of the other one's way

One of us should face up
I am he as you are he
To what no one can ignore
As you are me, but we just disagree
But no one does nothing much
Now i ain't anything
Of anything no more


And it's a world full of anger
I am he as you are he
It's a world full of pain
As you are me, but we disagree
It's a world full of people
Now it ain't anything
Lookin' for someone else to blame

But it don't make no difference
And it's a world full of anger
If it don't make no sense
It's a world full of pain
'cause the world goes on a changing
It's a world full of people
With or without our consent
Lookin' for someone else to blame

It ain't no secret
But it don't make no difference
Time took it's toll
If it don't make no sense
I can't believe it
'cause the world goes on a changing
We're gettin' old
With or without our consent

If one of us was angry
It ain't no secret
If one of us was sad
Time took it's toll
If one of us was guilty
I can't believe it
It might not be that bad
We're gettin' old
If one of us was anything

We might know something more
If one of us was angry
But no one is nothing much
If one of us was sad
Of anything no more
If one of us was guilty
It might not be that bad
If one of us was anything
We might know something more
But no one is nothing much
Of anything no more
