EDITED:
What’s left
When sex
Isn’t secret anymore
The drugs
Are all done
And the highs are familiar
When your dad’s beard
Grows on your chin
You’ve seen
All the colors of the leaves
And even the river
Seems the same
ORIGINAL:
What’s left
When sex
Isn’t secret anymore
When all the wars
Have been fought
When robots
Take all the jobs
And the economy
Prints money on its own
What’s left
When ancient philosophy
Found it all out
And then modern philosophy
Said it’s all absurd
Anyway
What’s left
When you get old
And Santa isn’t real
And it turns out
The adults didn’t know any better
After all
What’s left
When the commercial airlines
Take you wherever you want to go
And it all starts to seem the same
What’s left
When you’ve done the drugs
And all the highs
Are familiar
