Story Behind The Song
I coined this phrase, Acute Genetic Erosion, many years ago & finally got around to writing a song about it. Getting older is no great achievement, one only has to love long enough. I never did understand why people clap after singing someone happy birthday. Is it because that person didn't die? Once again, not a great achievement.

Lyrics
Acute Genetic Erosion
Old age makes ya indecisive that may be but I don't know
My granddad used to tell me the mind is the first to go
He always was complaining about his aches & all his pains
And now I understand him on any day it rains
CHORUS
Science has discovered this affliction is nothing new
Tho' it's spread across the globe there's little we can do
Still I hate to tell you it's been found in you & me
Acute Genetic Erosion, commonly known as A G E
I try to look cool & graceful when a senior moment nears
My body creaks when I stand up to these golden years
My blood pressure keeps a climbin' higher than my cholesterol
& I'm at the weight I should be if I were 8 feet tall
CHORUS
BRIDGE
The AMA & CDC say AGE's in our DNA
& FYI UNI R gonna end up DOA
OMG we're SOL & that's so SAD
But I confess that's no BS it's biolo-gy
That Acute Genetic Erosion, commonly known as A G E
So keep on exercisin' stay as healthy as you can
One side effect to watch for is a short attention spa....
Acute Genetic Erosion, commonly known as A G E
