Living in Babylon

I wrote this from the point of an old person, such as myself, but my vocals came out so bad that I had to get Olivia to sing it for me.

Lyrics:

Looking over a modern meme
It’s the worst that I’ve ever seen
Everything looks a little strange
In the manner that the words arranged

Understand Im a little old
As everybody has always told
But the language has become transformed
Now beyond all accepted norms

(Talk To Me)
Living in Babylon
(Listening)
Conversation carries on
(Wondering)
The Language of our time

You say the words “as if” as if I’d know
What the following word would flow
You assume that I understand
Dialects of the modern land

Everything that I learned in school
Makes me seem like a real fool
Almost seems like another time
Almost seems like another crime

(Talk To Me)
Living in Babylon
(Listening)
Conversation carries on
(Wondering)
The Language of our time

One of these days it will happen to you
No matter what you try to do
No matter what no matter who

Staying current with every trend
Is a task that never ends
Changes coming every couple years
New meanings overnight appear

In the end it’s a stupid game
Same thing with a different name
Generations saying everything
Between parents and their offspring

(Talk To Me)
Living in Babylon
(Listening)
Conversation carries on
(Wondering)
The Language of our time
