“I’m going to protest growing old Slowing down and feeling cold
Achy bones and achy back Hard of hearing and heart attacks
No more wrinkles, no more creams, no more loss of self-esteem
I’m going to boycott Geritol Beta blockers and Tylenol
Doctor Visits, and MRI’sI’d trade them all to rejuvenize
No more aging, no more shots, no more pain and no skin spots
We’re going to rise up in one voice We want solutions, we want choice
The golden years have lost their luster
It’s beginning to feel a bit like Custer”
No shrinking brain and no more falls No more body part recalls
We’re out to find the fountain of youth We’ll carry signs and speak the truth
Our numbers growing more each day One goal , one song, down with decay
No more aging, no more shots, no more pain and no skin spots
