Some people fear losing their hair
That's not me though I've lost my share
Some people fear death from cancer
And though I wouldn't like that, it wouldn't be my answer

You wanna know what scares me
You wanna know what really scares me
You wanna know what scares me
Well, here goes

CHORUS:
People younger than me, they really scare me
People younger than me, they really scare me
People younger than me, they really scare me to death

This 18-year-old kid, she says to me,
"I hear you like Johnny Cash, I like Johnny Cash as well."
And I smile and I say, "Oh yeah, that's great -- he's great.
"You know that song he does called 'The Long Black Veil'?"
She says, "No, I don't know that one, but I'm quite fond of his one Jesus ode."
So I think for a moment, and then I ask,
"You mean, 'Were You There When They Crucified My Lord'?"
She says, "No, I mean 'Personal Jesus'." "But that's a song by Depeche Mode,"
I say, and then she says,
"Who's Depeche Mode?"

[repeat chorus]

[monologue ad-lib]

Some people fear losing their grip
Realizing they're no longer hip
Some people fear becoming irrelevant
As rare as the dodo, or the great pink elephant

But you wanna know what scares me
You wanna know what really scares me
You wanna know what scares me
I think you know

[repeat chorus]
