Terms Of My Surrender

Old people are pushy
They don't have much time
They'll shove you at the coffee shop
Cut ahead in the buffet line
They'll buy two for a dollar and 50
Then they'll argue with the checkout girl
They've lived so much behind them
They're tryin' to slow down this god damn world
Old people are pushy
Well, they're not mushy
Old people are pushy 'cause life ain't cushy
Old people are pushy
They'll drive how they want to drive
And go as slow as they want to
They don't care who stays alive
And they'll kiss that little grand baby
Up and down the back and all around the front
They don't care what you think of them
That baby has got something that they want
Old people are pushy, well they're not mushy
Old people are pushy, cause life ain't cushy
(Old people are pushy, they aren't mushy)
(Old people are pushy, 'cause life ain't cushy)
Old people are pushy, cause you don't know how they feel
And when you pretend you do
Well they know it's not real
Pretty soon it's gonna be all over
Good enough reason not to let you pass
They done seem like sweet, little old people
But they are not about to kiss your ass
Old people are pushy, well they're not mushy
Old people are pushy, 'cause life ain't cushy
Old people are pushy, (old people are pushy)
Old people are pushy, (old people are pushy)
Old people are pushy, (old people are pushy)
'Cause life ain't cushy
Old people are pushy,
Old people are pushy
Old people are pushy
'Cause life ain't cushy.
