Old Men
Old men are filming all of their fantasies
As if they are telling us young women's stories
Young men die and women cry
Not because the boys are gone forever
Old men are sharing all of their regrets
As if they're showing us some womens'
inner secrets
Young men die and women cry
Not because the boys are gone forever
The things they have to do just to get by
Would make any mind recoil in terror
Old men's power has grown used to defining
And leaving young girls' lives behind them
(Chorus, instrumental, half-chorus)
Old men funding screenplays with their fortunes
Placing women they pay down there for you
(Chorus)
Women are so raised on all these tales
They wonder why their own dreams feel
so very strange
(Chorus)
Old men making up all of women's lives
