Old Man (Nothing Here)

I hated every day of school
First grade to the Master's Degree
I hated all of my teachers
Hated them, and they hated me
Wanted no bullets in my back
Wanted no part of Vietnam
While Lyndon and King Richard
Sat on the hydrogen bomb

I'm an old man now
Looking for love and truth
I'll die in the search
Because there's nothing here
Life is all in vain
Living with pain and fear
I'm an old man now
I know there's nothing here

I hated every job I had
Surrounded by pure idiots
I hated all of my bosses
Getting fired, I'm done with it
Never should have gotten married
Marriage only leads to divorce
Giving up autonomy
And freedom to the courts

I'm an old man now
Looking for love and truth
I'll die in the search
Because there's nothing here
Life is all in vain
Living with pain and fear
I'm an old man now
I know there's nothing here

I'll hang on because of my son
Endure this life until it's done

I'm an old man now
Looking for love and truth
I'll die in the search
Because there's nothing here
Life is all in vain
Living with pain and fear
I'm an old man now
I know there's nothing here

This is well written, Jim. I'm curious about music to it. But when you really look at your words, they are not just pissing/moaning but are insightful and moving.
Good work!
