about

From the album "Human for Scale" (ME163)

lyrics

keep the look they recognize
it's even larger than your size
it's world-wide, you puer aeternus
they're sure they've heard it all
but scrawl another on the wall
'cause you've something more to learn us

stay relevantly publicized
block 'em when you're criticized
be sure keep unfazed by shock
grandfather rock

your fanbase is sensational
diverse and multi-generational
the snowball in full effect
the more you've gotten older
but it sometimes seems a boulder
running over everything it's wrecked

say that it's justifiable
whatever keeps you viable
because it helps you beat the clock
grandfather rock

for every printed t-shirt worn
by every fan who wasn't born
before your band's known pinnacle
there's a memory of how you were
when you were rather immature
but not yet vain or cynical

but show the new kids what is cool
even though it's really old-school
you've been around so long, you're now the block
grandfather rock
