Come on wave y'all, down by the riverside
|
Say toodle-loo to the passing of a king
|
If you can cling to the magic of the moment
|
You'll carry on the message, just like him
|
|
Don't be afraid, there's nothing to be scared of
|
You're not alone, even when you're by yourself
|
There ain't too much that really makes a ha'pence worth o' difference
|
There ain't nothing new, that ain't been done before
|
|
Is this the end of the old guard?
|
I wouldn't count on it
|
Is this end of the old platoon?
|
|
When all the nations speak, unto the nations
|
Not by the party boys who claim the title king
|
We'll stop to see the changes that are written
|
By the dawning of a New World here within
|
|
Is this the end of the old guard?
|
I wouldn't count on it
|
Is this the end of the old platoon?
|
|
Don't count on it
|
|
I've seen the changes
|
And I've heard the liberties
|
So don't you tell me there's no more I can do
|
I built a castle from the dreams of idle wasters
|
And I'm on the ramparts looking down at you
|
|
Is this the end of the old guard?
|
I wouldn't count on it
|
Is this the end of the old platoon?
