I Can’t Keep Up

I can’t keep up
The pace of life is getting faster, every day I turn around it’s
past I don’t know what to do, I get myself in quite a stew and
Nothing seems the way that it once was…I’m feeling out of place and it’s because…..
I can’t keep up.
I can’t keep up

My friends don’t call me anymore they never knock upon my door
they text me, it’s terrific, but they write in hieroglyphics
and I reckon I could bake a Shepherd’s Pie; In half the time it takes me to reply
I can’t keep up.

They laugh at me & tell me that the Internet is where it’s at
they blog it and they tweet it, they get spam- I spose they eat it
and they say I need a Bebo book in space
in case someone should google on my face
I can’t keep up.

The world is going crazy I feel old and obsolete
I don’t recognise the characters on Coronation Street
I can’t keep up.

I can’t keep up
There’s email and there’s gmail, I get hotmail from a shemale
and a nice chap from Nigeria who’s going to make me seriously
rich, I sent my password yesterday
But now the bank declined my VISA card today….
I can’t keep up.

I can’t keep up
I went to tape a TV show last night, I tried all my remote controls
but I can’t make it work, and then my neighbour, what a jerk
was at my door in just his dressing gown
complaining that his garage door keeps going up and down
I can’t keep up.

I Can’t Keep Up
They world is going crazy and I don’t know where I’m at
Dr Who is getting younger, Captain Kirk is getting fat
I can’t keep up
I can’t keep up.
I can’t keep up.
