Barenaked Ladies - Too Old

Copied!

Way too old
Way too old

From your gilded glass house you're hurling rocks
You wanna see me shamed, displayed in stocks
What you fail to see, you don't scare me a bit
'Cause I'm too old for this shit
(Way too old)

It's just a little white lie from a little white guy
And it never really made much sense
Put a little more time into meter and rhyme
Put the Eggman on that fence

And Humpty's gonna fall
(Fall down)
Humpty's gonna fall
(Break your crown)

Keep your head on a swivel, watch what you say
The devil you don't know wants to see you pay
What was funny one time is a crime today
And it never goes away

This life can be rеally weird for me
For my children and my wifе
Sticks and stones used to break my bones
But now words can end my life
'Cause everything's a bomb
Everything's a bomb

There's no end in sight as we fight for right
'Til we fill up all the jails
When you're swinging your hammer, slinging your grammar
Everybody looks like nails

The hammer's gonna fall
Your hammer's gonna fall

From your gilded glass house you're hurling rocks
You wanna see me shamed, displayed in stocks
What you fail to see, you don't scare me a bit
'Cause I'm too old for this shit
(Way too old)
Way too old for this shit
(Way too old)

Biography

edit bio

Barenaked Ladies is a Canadian rock band that was formed in Scarborough, Ontario in 1988. The band has sold more than 15 million albums worldwide and has won eight Juno Awards throughout their career.

The group originally started as a duo consisting of Steven Page and Ed Robertson, who were both counselors at a music camp. Robertson's previous band had dissolved, leading him to learn all of Page's songs and eventually start performing together. The name "Barenaked Ladies" was initially created as a one-time name for a charity gig, but the duo decided to keep it.

Their unique style of creating songs on the spot based on audience requests helped them gain popularity, and they were soon offered opening slots on regional and national tours. The addition of Andy & Jim Creeggan on percussion and bass, as well as drummer Tyler Stewart, solidified the band's lineup.

Barenaked Ladies gained national exposure when Toronto city officials deemed their name offensive, leading to coverage in major newspapers and on television. Their self-released Yellow Tape became the first independent release to achieve platinum status in Canada.

The band's breakthrough came with their album "Gordon" in 1992, which produced several hit singles including "If I Had $1,000,000" and "Brian Wilson." Subsequent albums like "Stunt" and "Maroon" solidified their success with chart-topping hits like "One Week" and "Pinch Me."

After the departure of Steven Page in 2008, the band continued to release albums and tour, achieving moderate success in North America. They reunited with Page for a performance at the 2018 Juno Awards when they were inducted into the Canadian Hall of Fame.

Barenaked Ladies' unique blend of humor and catchy melodies has endeared them to fans around the world, cementing their status as one of Canada's most successful and enduring musical acts.
