The Conservationist

No further, no further your body does say
Your feet can no longer carry you on your way
If you must continue forward, I fear it might be alone
For the people you came with, they don't move so slow
No other, no other pointless action you shall make
You'll consider every gesture and just what it would take
Still, you always were for conservation, even in your prime
You would never waste an arm about a body such as mine
So faster and faster the world seems to go
You've fallen behind and can't help but hold your own
Wind the windows down and put your feet upon the pedal
Drive about the town as if you're going for the gold medal
Still faster and faster the world seems to spin
Haven't you heard? Time will always win
We'll always fade and we'll always grey
But in the long run that's where I will have to stay
Don't bother, don't bother
Don't bother, don't bother
Don't bother, don't bother yourself with this news
Your children have always been capable to
Go to and fro, take themselves about the town
They know how to dance with their feet on the ground
For though you bought the dancing shoes, provided the beat
You never did take them around on your feet
