My latest "baby" doesn't have a tune yet, but it has got a text:

you say that your life's a mess
I say that life is a game
you say I don't have a clue
I say that is all the same
if you're the young man with no future
I'm the old man with no past
if you do not believe me
then we both are badly cast

you say you've had such high hopes
but the outlook is quite bleak
I say that's a point of view
worthwhile only for the meek
if you're the young man with no future
I'm the old man with no past
if you do not believe me
then we both are badly cast

you lay the blame on everybody
everybody but yourself
your chances have to be provided
to be chosen from the shelf
may I humbly ask the question
which part you are playin' in this
which is your role, your contribution?
your part seems to be amiss

now that you have been fed up
like some kind of monstrous grub
all you're doing is complain
that you're bein' put under strain
that they do not declare your reign
aren't you a bit too vain?

you say that nobody cares
for the man you really are
I say that they've not known me
and I'm very glad so far
if you're the young man with no future
I'm the old man with no past
if you do not believe me
then we both are badly cast

if you're the young man with no future
I'm the old man with no past
if you do not believe me
then we both are badly cast
