Steppenwolf

Words and music by John Kay and Gabriel Mekler
Things look bad from over here
Too much confusion and no solution
Everyone here knows your fear
You're out of touch and you try too much
Yesterday's glory won't help us today
You wanna retire?
Get out of the way
The country needs a father
Not an uncle or big brother
Someone to keep the peace at home
If we can't get together
Look out for stormy weather
Don't make me pay for your mistakes
I have to pay my own
Yesterday's glory won't help us today
You wanna retire?
Get out of the way
I ain't got much time
The young ones close behind
I can't wait in line
