JRK - Grandpa

Grandpa's from a very different time but he means well
Nobody married Androids when he was young
The disembodied lifestyle wasn't an option
You had to have a body just to be someone
Now he's so old he doesn't have connections
The connections that he had were the people he knew
Not too many of the ones he had are around
And he refuses to connect like the rest of us do
And he's a dangerous man
He doesn't mean to be
He doesn't mean to offend
He's just obsolete
He thought it all would end
And the end would be sweet
how lucky he is
To still be here
Grandpa stole a civic from the auto museum
He told the judge and jury he just wanted to drive
He tore around the city in a perilous manner
He said he a little danger made him feel alive
Grandpa has no interest in recording his dreams
He says he doesn't want anybody to watch
He's worried that they'll catch him in flagrante delicto
Jump out from the closets all at once and yell gotcha
And he's a dangerous man
He doesn't mean to be
He doesn't mean to offend
He's just obsolete
He thought it all would end
And the end would be sweet
how lucky he is
To still be here
Grandpa never thought he'd live 'til 2190
Back when he was younger people died middle age
Doctors used to practice in the dark art of surgery
Long before the advent of the nanonecrophage
Grandpa doesn't understand designer mutations
He tells everybody he's just fine how he is
He isn't even curious about sentient hairstyles
He doesn't feel the need to have a novel appendage
And he's a dangerous man
He doesn't mean to be
He doesn't mean to offend
He's just obsolete
He thought it all would end
And the end would be sweet
how lucky he is
To still be here
And he's a dangerous man
He doesn't mean to be
He doesn't mean to offend
He's just obsolete
He thought it all would end
And the end would be sweet
how lucky he is
To still be here
