Aging
Verse 1
We are living longer
But at what cost
Are we really ready
For the quality of life lost
Verse 2
High levels of dementia
For people over eighty
Are our medical facilities
Really ready
Chorus
Its a tough question to ask
Are we meant to live this long
An emotive talking point
We need to be strong
Verse 3
Are we meant to outlive our children
Longer we live its a chance
As we may not be capable
Who will look after us
Bridge
In an overpopulated world
We pay millions to extend life
As our numbers swell
Can we all really survive
Its not going to be easy
Tough calls need to be made
Complete rebuild of society
If we are to prevail
Verse 4
Something has to change
We cant keep going like this
Surely its the quality of life
Not how long we live
Chorus
Its a tough question to ask
Are we meant to live this long
An emotive talking point
We need to be strong
